Agree, hope it turns out running as good as it looks. That's a nice car! And speaking of looking back in the past on this build, I hope you don't break this engine in by jumping curbs and doing lawn jobs, lol ! Just thought I would bring that up for the last time.

Even on an 88 with solid mounted cradle? I was just going to support the engine and swing the cradle down on the front 2 bolts.

Nothing like full boost burnouts in your OWN front yard!

I don't swing it down it makes everything too awkward.

Engine brace nearly finished. I just have to add simple cross braces to each strut tower.
