Here's a picture of my 57 Bird, it just sits, about 3000 miles on the engine (20 years ago), it's a B9EA block, Bryant did the crank, Isky RPM300 and kit, 471 cylinder heads (home porting), Spalding Flamethrower, all good stuff in the engine.

More work on the adapter (4 hours on the milling machine), next for the holes, studs and finishing

Working on the Engine adapter, it's made of 1/2" cold rolled steel, heavy and hard to cut. 

Spacer for the motor plate roughed in, adapter will be made of 1/2 cold rolled steel. 

Motor plate almost done

Reworked alternator bracket

Front Motor plate finished
 

This is what is going on top of the intake manifold that I'm making out of Lexan

Starting to detail parts for the front of the engine, this takes a long time

More alternator bracket, finished detailing the mount, roughed in the adjuster ( I cheated, started with a powermaster adjuster)
