      David, I am in the same “Old Wrench” category but fitting R elbow and Lumbar issues. We can do the same things but it takes longer, then pay for it in pain.
      I does my heart good to see some younger people like Karl, jump into the fabrication world with both feet. I had no shop in high school but was learning, watching and asking questions as a kid at a small town repair shop, until they run me off. I had no family member that had skills past changing oil, but working for neighboring farmers, found old lawnmowers they gave me. Take two and make one run. Hay in the barn for the old brothers 5 miles away paid $0.03 cents per bale, but a $1 dollar in town to mow a yard. Much quicker with a gas lawnmower = more money.
      I have two sons, one 40, they other 35. The youngest takes his 80’s car apart but can’t put them together or do wiring. I am building a 67 Chevy C10 for my self and enjoy watching and getting ideas. Wish I had a garage or shop but don’t.
      What could you have done if you have this room, equipment and todays electronics coupled with a plasma cutter? I have so many questions to catch up to the aftermarket parts I can afford but 03 Tahoe 5.3L with 87 era 700R4 I build last winter with hood parts. Built to handle 600+ HP will last years behind a stock EFI engine with headers and torque range and few important modifications but only 400 HP (+/-) should last me years with regular maintenance and mostly stock GM parts as my service manual grows with the build. Photos, part numbers, connector locations, diagnostic flow chart and Tech-2 used.
      Be of luck! Best of Health!

    Karl, I have never seen this Ford mount but cool. The Saginaw power steering pump is a steel shell and return fluid pressure is like 8-10 PSI. It can be heated, bent or welded. Note; Place an inline fuel filter to catch debris for pump first and box second. I place a rare earth magnet on the bottom and wrap it using zip ties or electric tape. Place a dab of black weather strip adhesive on the end of tape and will never come apart. This pump wear is what turns p/s fluid dark, filters help!
    What type of paint is used on the engine? High heat over primer doesn’t come in that color! Cool.

    Karl, love the way you express your thought process. Your talent is amazing. I noticed in the Caddy you were reusing the steering box. You can go to a modern version which is a combination of the valving from a rack and pinion mounted to the housing like you have. Much better response and feel. Currently used in NASCAR. This 670 gear is made by the same mfg as the older one. Contact CJR products in North Carolina and they can fix you up

    there is nothing wrong with over building parts. The alternative is under building and people get hurt or die. A great pattern is look closely at factory parts and use their example. I did that for years and always went up by at least one gauge on most fixtures if using mild steel. I am impressed by the use of the CAD and the quality of the finished work; sure beats the hell of the old torch and grinder. Keep having fun young man and you will keep producing great videos.

    Another really nice job! I’m lucky that I can remove my pickup cab, or set it back in place, by myself with just a shop crane/engine lift. I used your “other” preferred motor mounts with the urethane bushings and a through bolt to position frame mounts on 2x2 square tubing to mount my LS in a ‘71 C10 frame. Your advice on precise location applied in my case as well with the LS swap headers. I have minimal clearance but with the relatively solid bushing mounts, it should work well. Your SBC to Caddy frame mounts are just beautiful! Thanks for showing us the process.
