I felt the same as you very early on in my build then realised that none of these parts are actually designed to go with other. EVERYTHING needs an element of "fettling". Once you get your head around this then it's pretty much plain sailing.

Where would be the pleasure in building something that was 100% straight forward

Nothing fits my car! An old Dax which was built with a Rover, so fitting the Big Chevy has had its moments. When I started my swap, Dax had only fitted a 454 to a Super Tube chassis. They were very helpful but we were all in the dark. As Craggle says, it's all part of the enjoyment, just some parts of the build, or rebuild, are more enjoyable than others.

I bought a cooling pipe kit to save time, but when it arrived I couldn't for the life of me see how it would fit. After telling myself the problem was with my old chassis setup, I set about cutting the thing up and re welding it. It fitted a treat. Then I saw the Dax 502 demo car only to find they had done virtually the same mods.
