Completed installation of USCT frame connectors about a month ago. They fit well with only a little trimming depending on how precise a fit is desired. I would think that connectors continuously or intermittently welded to the floor pan would provide a far more rigid chassis than connectors...
Thanks Jeff, I think he knows but he also knows what it will cost to get it shipped half way across North America. Is there any way to know if the crank is forged or not without tearing the engine apart?
I looked for a 68 fastack for several years, found a lot of racecars. While they make great racecars every one caused some pain from my perspective. So my vote is restore it. Doesn't need to be number matching well documented to bring a smile to your face and the face of others.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the heads up. fireguyfire sent a message about the air cleaner and valve covers. I'll look for the post about the block.
Are the Cragars mounted yet?
