Floor Tube Construction-

Got a bare small block on the motor mounts and bolted up the trans and located the transmission crossmember mount. At this point Pete and I discussed the engine height. Due to the lowered stance of the truck we will be raising the motor in the engine bay to gain oil pan clearance.

I skipped over the upper four link bar for now. It was kicking my butt with the angle the tube needed to be bent and the angle of cut needed to join main hoop. I’m following Pete’s instruction on bar placement to ensure this cage can be certified to 25.2. In the photo below you can see I added the 3 tubes spanning out from where the speed clamp is located. All 3 tubes tie into outter rocker tube. This is done on both sides. The butt bar is only needed on driverside. Pete said he liked things to be symetrical. I’m glad he said that, because I like things that way as well. Plus I can always go back to a two seater if I want.
