So is it me or does that setup look like you have a lot of caster in the
thing?
Might be an optical illusion but it looks like there is a large amount
of spacers in the rear of the upper A-frame, on both sides. Was that the
way it came out or did you do that deliberate? Might want to check the
caster, camber, toe before you run it. 
Also did you try a dry run installing the engine? Do the inner fenders
and the exhaust clear each other? How about the frame ? You going to use
headers? What brand? Reason all the questions is I have an S-10 and
wonder about that kind of stuff if I decide to install a 350 in it. Plus
I notice that you put in a straight firewall. Did you take the heater
out and do you plan to reinstall it?

Thanks, Steve and Wayne, 

The photos make this project look like a piece of cake. How many hours
did it 
take to clean the blood, sweat, and tears off the suspension parts
before the 
pics were taken? :{)   (With luck, that smear to the left will read as a

mustache above a grin--OK, it needs some bodywork--story of my life.) 

Thanks & Regards,
