Hey everyone. Getting ready to install my 454 BBC after installing new stringers, floor and new paint. Of course going to have to drill new mounting holes for a 4 point system. Any advice on properly doing this would be much appreciated. Alignment, leveling, drilling techniques? Also, mounting hardware used with new 2 X 6 stringers? Pics of the new stringers attached...thanks in advance!!!

I'm know expert, but I'm sure some will chime in. My advice is to have some good help. You want a slight angle in the driveline between 1.5-4 degrees. And you want that angle to be up and down not left and right. And also whatever you need to do to drill the holes as straight as possible through the stringers and use washer. Also I recommend clear coating or waxing your bolts and nuts after the installed for extra rust protection.
