Off topic, regarding the motor swap direction of the discussion, but I am needing the rear license plate light stuff, if any of you have spares...
Well, I would think the '40 crossmember would be in the way. I know that when a side mount is used, to run a mechanical fuel pump, you have to...

LOL. That was last minute idea. It did require the cheap little Harbor Freight sledge hammer to keep it rotated to the correct angle to get the...
