Race truck update

well managed to get the engine into the truck and bolted down today (wanted to have that done yesterday but oh well) now just finish wiring, and bolting everything up, I did get the front clip set back one, and cut the holes bigger for the headers but still a ways to go but here it is before the clip went on.




I do have some issues to deal with on clearence like my steering wants to go straight through the headers so gonna have to relocate the steering shaft once again, and the way it is now I can't pull the left valve cover cause the brake lines are only an inch away so need to get a master cyl that exits the other direction from the one I have but hopefully I can get that figured out in the next day or 2
