Out with the old (350)

The 350 L48 motor comes out

There's nothing stopping me from pulling out the old 350 gas motor. Everything else I want to do with the 6.5 can be done just as easily with it in the Vette as on the engine stand.

A piece of channel is bolted to the frame
rails and runs under the transmission.

I made a simple brace to hold the TH350 transmission in place  while the 6.5 gets fitted to its new home.
