Floorpan porn!


<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Arrowsmith</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I came across these photos and I'll share them before I show the rear end setup:

Here's the before under the car:

In some places, the undercoating was over an inch thick.

The next two are photos of the bottom side after I cleaned it. It pretty much involved a propane torch, a couple of scrapers, a lot of Purple stuff and then some 3M grease remover (that stuff works great, but if you use it, make sure you have adequate ventilation!).

Here's the &quot;after&quot; with the update subframe installed. I painted the bottom side in low gloss black. I think it came out nicely.

Car looks great. I'm surprised how great the original paint looks, considering the car didn't look to have been stored in a friendly environment.

Re: Sleeper Chassis Project
 

Have you actually done any measuring to see if a carbed LS will fit under a stock Nova hood?
I can tell you a dual plane Gm manifold, on a aluminum Ls3 ,mounted as low as possible( aftermarket shallow front sump area almost touching frame) , using custom engine mounts, along with a L88 drop base air cleaner just barely fit under hood.
There was zero room for any sort of spacer and you needed to run a very short air filter element as well

Amazingly, a BB Chevy in the same chassis, a RPM Airgap, with a 1/2 Nos plate and drop base filter, fits with room to spare!

Good luck

Flat hoods RULE!!
