Be as precise as possible with your setup levels and longitudinal centre lines.

I will try to be as accurate as can be Time....lol fergal I will be calling my dad alot to help...he finished his Tahoe 19 about 2 years ago. I am stretching mine to 16 ft as to get a transmission in there. My dad has 1 complete 350 crusader left hand rotation and 2 complete 327 fireballs with camelback heads l and r rotation, so i still have to decide which one to put in. :)

The best way to post is up to you. We like to see your pictures right here. But, if you want others to see your pictures a blog may be better and give us a link.
