Engine compartment done.

[493 Mike]

I believe I have finished the engine install in my 65 Belvedere. This is the 540 Indy I had Muscle Motors build for me. Picked it up in 2016 and will fire it this summer. It was dynoed before I brought it home. It weighs 420# complete! I think it looks pretty good but, I'm biased.

What's been done to the body?
Because that's going to twist it pretty good.

New floors with subframe connectors, 4 point rollbar with midpoint horizontal bar, front torque boxes, USCT inner fender braces, and lower radiator support brace.

I noticed the distributor cap and ignition box.
