Cut out the "tabs" of the firewall today. These are located on both sides where the frame rails meet the firewall. They must be cut out for clearance of the new engine and transmission.
I still need to widen the transmission tunnel where it meets the firewall. I'm waiting before doing this as once the cuts have been made and the tunnel widened, the firewall and tunnel will need to be welded back together, a job for a experienced welder.
Here are a couple of pictures of the cut tabs:

Busy work...
Not much new to report.
Been busy cleaning and painting upper & lower control arms for the front and rear suspension. Also cleaned the Ford rear differential. Need to order some new suspension parts before going further but it may be a little while before that due to budget woes. I hate bills!
Oh well, got plenty more parts to clean and I still need to modify the firewall.
Here are couple of pics of the diff before and after a cleaning:
