Nice headers. Looks like it will clear the frame and motor mounts good.

Do you have anything done with the front ds? Will it need to be a 2 piece or will it clear the th400 pan? Pics?

No problem with the front driveshaft and clearing the tranny pan. There is plenty of room on that side. We have run into a problem with the gear set up on the front. We have a call to make today for some answers. Started putting High Steer Arms on last night before I went home. Hope to get some new pictures up this week.

I saw the project last week.  Looking very nice.  Just remember those 1410 yokes all the way around (or at least the rear for a start)...then you will be ready for that blower.   :firedevil:

Well long time without me updating this.  Here is a current pic.  The tub and frame have been reunited.

The scrambler also got a link suspension front and rear and coilovers.





I'll post more pics as I can.  Just proving a long term project doesn't die off.

It will still be a while, but real progress is being made on a daily basis.  I know he has electric fan and radiator hung now.
