Do the factory front springs look like they are holding the weight okay?

The Springs seem ok they need bushings, but other than that they seem fine it is sitting full weight with the exception of the intercooler and radiator..the Soa really helped out a lot!

*the engine is pretty close to the firewall too*

Thanks Dave

Update:
I purchased a set of gauges they are VDO and Fuel tank from a 91 shivvy blazer.

Lobie.. High steer arms for D-D60. Im waiting on the word on a rear shackle flip kit from another member here

Nice. Glad to see you're still making progress. I notice a pyrometer probe with your gauges, but no gauge.

FYI- I went with the same VDO style because it has the largest selection of gauges that look the same of any manufacturer. Isspro offers a few more gauges that look almost identical, if you need them. I think I ended up with two of them to monitor things that VDO didn't offer. Side by side they're almost a perfect match.

Thanks Resbum I have the Gauge its just not in the picture. yeah im looking forward to getting back to work on it
