Re: 1971 Early Bay Panel
Sorry guys! I moved to another shop and ive been busy busy busy!! I plan to jump back on this project real soon. More progress has been made since my last post. I will say that moving a bus with zero suspension is a major pain. I do not suggest it lol.
Re: 1971 Early Bay Panel
In order to be able to frame drag i had to raise the engine and transmission up 5" from their stock location. So i used the stock transaxle mounting bracket and cut it up and modified it. Basically i flipped it so that it mounts on top of the torsion tube instead of below the tube. It took alot of measuring to figure it all out, but the transaxle now sits 5" higher then it once did.

Heres a look at the engine and trans mock up. If you look closely you can see they sit above the torsion tube now. I fabricated custom mustache bar hangers and i had to cut and modifiy the bar itself.
