1972 Nova with the front clip off and on a body dolly.

Front Clip after hours of degreasing and pressure washing.

First test fit of the 472 over the front clip.

Sure does fit in that engine compartment.

Front Clip nicely powder coated *cough cough*

First true clearance issues, the exhaust manifolds don't even fit, let alone the headers we have.

It sure is pretty.

The shims and engine mounts that will be fabricated for this to mount to the clip.

The steering box is for sure in the way of the exhaust.

Oil Filter will fit, eventually.

That's not a lot of space there.

Had to smash some pan for it to steer fully.

Before welding the mounts.

Before welding the motor mounts.

And there it is, fully settled and ready for the wheels.
