The Quarter Master bellhousing slipped right into place. It fit nicely on the Speedway Motors mid-plate. We opted for the lightweight engine plate with the 5/8-inch offset. It will be a direct fit for many popular Modified chassis.

The engine was bolted in and ready to receive more parts. Our crew will get together in the near future and move the project another step closer to the first test session.
