Dang! Some serious info here! I guess I should have looked harder when I was assembling my 79. Something like these would have really helped!
79 Trans am low buck LS swapped
79 Formula 301 (Work in progress)
67 RS Camaro (waiting it's turn)
69 Dodge charger on late model charger chassis
49 Ford F1 on a 2003 Chevy ZR2 Chassis (current project)
Names, Luke. If I hear anyone telling me they're my father....

Yeah, I never had any assembly manuals or diagrams where I had mine apart the first few times, had to guess half the engine brackets and arrangement long before confirmation years later.

Here's a secret GM doesn't want you to know...if you read their Assembly Manuals backwards, you now have their rare Disassembly Manuals.
