Thanks Rich. Cut off end of Tranny housing, made an engine mount, cut and fit plug wires and checked firewall clearances. Compressed rear leaf spring, to drop rear end down some, so there's less of a rake on the stance.

Drilled the Flathead V-8 for some Solder pipes with shrink tube to hold them together. Also drilled the tranny for gear shift and hand brake, which fits up through the floor of the cab.

Thanks fellas. Spent most of the day putting in aluminum exhaust pipes, door closers, windshield, painting tail lights and pick up bed, steering rods, linkage, pitman arms. I need a break. Sure want to finish this Rod. Hardest build in awhile.
