Quickest SBE 318 car?

I wonder if fitment is different because you used a slant six k-frame? I've heard other members having to shim their motors and grind on the manifolds to keep them away from the steering box/shaft.

That could be. I can't easily shim it with the spool mounts though, so grinder it is.

Nice read and a belated congrats on the house and son! Who is 8/9 by now? Whoa! Time he can pass you a wrench I think!

Thanks! The boy's only 2 now, that thread has a lot of dead time in it. (apartment living with no garage) Now that I have my own space, things are actually getting done. :)
