The IFS has been installed and the rear is the next on the list. This project is going slow, but that is fine with me, just one step at a time.


Do you still have the dimensions for the IFS setup you used?

Time to order engine and transmission. Going with a 383 Stroker and 700R4 transmission. Will use the hooker header set-up.

Got more done on the Luv this week. It is moving along slowly but surely. We have installed the 383 Stroker, and the 700R transmission. Since the engine was back far enough to put a manual fan, we had to cut the firewall. Now, it is time to fabricate a firewall and tunnel. Seems to be going well.

We are getting closer by the day. The exhaust is in and brake lines run. Also trying to decide where the fuel cell and battery will be placed.

Very nice. What size are your rear tires? Mine are close to the frame like that too.
