    Love the drone shots. Somebody clearly knows what they're doing. Great work. Great cruiser for someone to finish. And she does a 2-wheel peel. Be safe and stay well

    I love the LS swap especially if it is a truly daily driver not a car show only car. It's an ugly engine but all modern engines are. You're absolutely correct on the drive shaft shortening. Great site.

    "If you drive normal you won't throw the belt"... I find it hard to believe Brent that with an LS motor and a 9 inch Ford anyone has plans on driving it normal!😎

    That's a pretty slick trick installing those universal bearing caps, you made that look easy. Funny thing, I hate to admit.., I have all the C-clamps, impact guns and still used a bench vise, hammer and socket lol . Thanks for the tip.
    I also like how you factored in an inch of slip yoke end play going into the transmission before shortening the tube, that's as good as it gets👍👍 Good job brother.
