Top job on X-member tounge good to see your not hacking & chopping but using original holes in x-member & making parts to suit

Looks like there is some good progress happening. All the work should make for a great street car.

8" booster
I am trying this to get more room above the tappet cover
things are to tight with 9" booster.
using 8" booster will require and additional vacuum tank to increase capacity.
water bottle filler is turned to the rear to give space to fit relay and fuse panel.
Has any one seen any good ideas for air filter
I am looking a moving radiator down in the frame 2" to allow for over the radiator induction
How ever I have not seen any decent filtration systems. I can use in that method of cold air induction

critical Clearances
these clearances were obtained with engine sitting in frame
1/2" forward of original engine position measured from block / bell housing joint
offset in mounting bracket from four mounts that hold bracket to engine is 9/16" down ( ie engine lifted up )
measured form center line of top two mounting holes
I will post a drawing soon.
bracket made from 5/8" material using an Mackay mounts part no. A1128
Note i found that the Mackay mount measures close to 1 1/8" think where the US mounts I have measure 3/4" thick

clearance full right hand steer
