    Spent all weekend destroying the garage and trying to put the car together, its the third motor to go in the car so hopefully third times a charm. The suspensions all off because we put a tubular k-member in the car.

    That motor looks mean! You have tons of room compared to what I have to deal with. I have to share a 2 car garage at my condo. I have my car, an extra aod, a t-5, an explorer short block on a stand, a complete 8.8, an air compressor an 2 tool boxes an a work bench in there on my side! I built a hanging loft out of a 4x8 sheet of plywood to store my extra parts on. I should take a pic, you can walk around the car, if you're careful.

    thats crazy man...haha i was just swapping the clutch on my truck this past weekend. Didnt even have to jack it up. The stock ride height is enough for me to get under there on a roller, and to pull the tranny out from under it lol. that was nice.

    i cant wait til i have a 20,000 square foot shop with like 4 hydraulic car jacks and a spare-5.0 powered air compressor lol
