Just a little update. Still making progress! Thanks to Hippiedude for the new toolbox. I got it installed and my running board back on finally!
It appears the stock motor mount brackets for the 302 that are riveted to the frame, are setup for biscuit style mounts. They already have a large 1 1/4" hole for the rubber mount. That will save me lots of drill work and metal play. So i'll need to fab up a piece that extends from the 6.2 motor plates, forward about 4 inches to the stock frame mounts. Should be real easy.
Got my hood sanded, primed and reinstalled with new hinge pins.
Ordered all my transmission seals, filters, etc. All I need now is my adapter plate and I am ready for the installation.
I am also drawing up plans for a custom hard top that all GMC owners can make very easily and for under $150. Modeled after the M220 hard top.
