Thats a huge power plant, what did you do with the doghouse? The inverted alternator is a neat idea but I never thought of spinning one backwards. The plate in front of the block is also interesting...

WOW!!! With that big of a motor in the front, how do you keep the rear end on the ground?

The doghouse has been widened but it is still tight 
I have motor plates on the front and back of the motor no crossmember.

18" wide tires helps getting the power to the ground.

Thanks for the comments. Even with the tires I have on there it just spins. If I was going to get serious about running it hard it would need slicks. It's all about the look.

AWESOME BUILD!!!
I've got a line on a 460 and C6 trans. I should be picking it up in the next week or so. I'd love to learn more about the install/fab. also looking for the talent to do the install.
about +20yrs ago, when i was about 18, I worked for a guy in Ventura, by the name of Mike May. In those days he had a '65 van, with a 454. I'm pretty much looking to mimic that van.
thanks
