Max, Im prob. going to do an engine driven on my old school 302. plus Im prob. going to redo the rails with mandrel bent pieces and keep the air out of some of the crossmembers, probably just in the 2 crossmembers in the rear area.
My question to that is thickness of 2x3 and what other hang-ups or things should be known when building a frame to hold air.
Hang ups, no screwing anything into the frame such as clips to hold wiring, brake lines, fuel lines, etc. and leak testing on a large frame takes a ton of time and patience. Those were my biggest hurdles.
