Soon to be battery box

Had to shorten the coupler, engine going in (have to remove the oil filter first), this thing is tight, I hope I measured right.

In, forgot to grind off a small part of the block (hits the frame), all measurements look good (so far), going home, no more work today. 

No work today, this is in front of my house

1/2 the day on the milling machine making a battery box (I could have bought one), however this is not square, the frame is tapered, now time to finish (80 grit and clear), going home, this took to long to do.

Battery box (tray) done, I could have bought one for $35.00 on E Bay, however I just did not want china crap on my car.

One more photo

Working today, this thing is done, ready to install, don't know why it look so long but it did. 

New problem, flex plate shield hits the frame.

OK, battery installed with tray and hold down, starter installed, look at how much room is between the engine and the frame, I did this by measuring not trial and error, the starter touches the pan and the frame rail (just a little)
