i finally got a hold of a rear sump pan from a member here(thank you Mike ZGAD!!).
well after finishing up my zg flares(rear),i decided to trial fit the engine/tranny combo so see what i'm up against.
the assembly is very long but it slid in pretty easy.
i still have to fab up some engine and tranny mounts.
the engine is sitting on a 1x2 on top of the steering rack and tranny is on a plastic ramp. i still have to tweak things and align things before the fabbing but so far i like what i see!
here are some pics!
i threw in my old v8 radiator to check how much room i have....PLENTY!!!
