Fantastic build! Great fabricating skills. Nice to see another build on here. If those engine mounts turn out too stiff try 2000 Corvette hydraulic mounts. What kind of power are you expecting?

lookin REALLY good. WOW you went from drive shafts to finished. are you up and running? Do you have any details on your new governor spring? After my summer drive, I am in the middle of a motor swap in my jeep, and the new motor has a way stronger spring. So any details on your spring would be great. I ended up with a A$$ pile of springs (some only come in 3 packs). I am going to be running a 2" x .5" x .063dia Stainless spring, I think the rate is about 13# per inch .
I Absolutely did not need more RPM. But I am hoping the stronger spring will not let the pump defuel as quick, hoping for a bit less EGT.
