Engine and Trans mocked up in Project 50 Five Window

April 20, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We finally got back to work on the truck tonight, managed to get the LS engine and 4L60E transmission mocked up on the chassis. Tomorrow’s project is doing some measuring and adjusting on the LS engine plates, I think it is too far forward.
