Made a basic transmission cross member that bolts to the stock cross member mounts. Used some 1/2" plate to space it down from the chassis and set the transmission in the right spot. Last shot is a circle traced on some 1/8" plate.

Center drilled the carb hat. A shot of it on the motor. The owner found a carb on one of the trucks on his newly acquired property. There where a few trucks with 460s, and one had a Holley on it, so we ran with that one. Last shot is of the hood closed. Everything just barely fits under the hood.

It was TIG welded on the inside for an airtight seal. I then cut the welds down on the lathe, and did a little metal finishing with some files and emery cloth.

I free hand cut the circle with my plasma, then cleaned it up and welded it to the carb hat.
