Some pics, engine fit up
My 69 is starting to come to life, just stuck in the Big M block, heads and old trany to check fit of Hooker side pipes, had to cut some lower body in front section but fit up very well in engine compartment.
Then went overboard and sat the blower on top with the BDS fuel injection unit.
got the firewall painted also. could someone please post these for me.
dont know why the pic is small, sorry

Thanks for posting my pics.
I think the blower is to high for stupid Pa inspections so does anyone make a low-profile BBC manifold.
Thanks ;

Maybe you could get e high rise hood? Looks like you only need around 14 inches or so
On first glance, I thought you had a small block in there. That supercharger is a little large.
