    Got a set of these Boss style covers the other day. They're almost the same height as the stock ones.



    here's how it would look with the HO upper adapted to the truck lower...



    It appears to be close to the lowest height option, although the Holley systemax2 upper is believed to be the same height as this HO upper. It's unknown how the underside will clear the rails and of course the T-body would have to face the drivers side if it were used.

    Righto I dummied up the block with the Falcon style front cover and AU water pump. The upper is just sitting there with a 65mm Edelbrock T-body. I gave the block a hit with rust converter and grey paint.



    This is the 90 degree oil filter adapter you can get from Ford Racing...

    Pete you should be able to knock off an adapter that sits between the upper and lower couldn't you? That would give you the needed clearance too.

    Finally some progress was made. We got busy yesterday and made the adapter plate on Tonys' NC converted mill. Starting on the lathe the centre sections were done. That's a 60 x 280 x 280 ally plate...





    The adapter shaft with an alignment mandrel up it's date before welding...



    Then onto the mill. Here's about the only bit I did...drilling and tapping the holes....



    Here's one of the servo drives Tony made for conversion of the mill....



    A screen shot of the control software...



    And an action video...

    [ame="http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/XR9UTE/Rangie/?action=view&current=IMG_0069.mp4"]Rangie :: IMG_0069.mp4 video by XR9UTE - Photobucket@@AMEPARAM@@http://vid9.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/XR9UTE/Rangie/IMG_0069.mp4@@AMEPARAM@@vid9@@AMEPARAM@@9@@AMEPARA M@@a73/XR9UTE/Rangie/IMG_0069@@AMEPARAM@@mp4[/ame]

    Close to done...



    Finished item compared to the original ZF adapter/extension housing...



    Bolted onto the trans...



    and then the transfer. Note the top section for bolting up of the shifter, is recessed. This is to allow a 10mm plate to be bolted up which will allow an adjustable shifter position depending on where the final engine/trans assembly will sit in the body...





    Some small un-needed bosses cut off the side of the case gave the clearance needed for the prop shaft...



    Ready to slide under for a dummy up...



    Cheers.

    I tried to jack the thing up last night but I can't get the balance right and after measuring,the jack won't lift high enough anyway.
    Looks like I'll be throwing the whole show on a trailer and taking it to my mates house who has a hoist.
