I should really put this in my build thread, but I'mma put it here cause I really need/want some input on this.. As some of you know I recently got a good floor jack and this helped me finally get the front of my foxbody high enough safely that I could get under the front of the chassis to get a good look at some things... From what I saw I'm a lil discouraged. I want some feedback here for some opinions on what paths or directions you think I should take with this build. I'm thinking that I'll have to go to a tubular k-member regardless of whatever direction I go. And since I already have a tranny with a big block bell housing pattern I might as well go in that direction.. but I still won't know much of anything untill I can get it running which is still up in the air.. anyhoo... Pics...
Yes, that's a chunk cut out of the k-member, and the oil pan has been sectioned, brazed (I think?) And smeared with JB weld... Here's another angle...
Yeaaahhhhh.... I know some of you are cringing right now... Just wait I got one more....
Yuuuuirrrpp..... That's the steering rack the front of the oil pan is sitting on... I discovered all this while I was eyeballing everything for what I needed to do to get the steering shaft out to put in a new rag joint... Then I found all this... Soooooo right now I'm thinking bare minimum to get this engine running to move it around, maybe.... Just maybe drivable with it while getting the rest of it ready for a big block transplant?? What does the forum think??? Remember I have to keep an automatic whatever direction I got with it...
