Sweet transmission setup.

Can't wait to see some videos.

 

Just a few more details and I'm good to go... should be driving it around this weekend!

 

Still dying to hear that whining transmission... I've wanted a cut gear transmission for a long time, I think one of these days I'm going to have to drop the coin and do it.


Thing is going to be awesome!

 

Ready to rock!

 

cage work:









Anyone elses floor boads fucked? Mine are all messed up from previous owners/shops jacking up the car in the wrong spot...

 

Floor boards..no, but my frame rails right under the doors are, I suspect same reasons.

 

-Yeah the rails are bent on mine and the floor boards are like a ******* waffle...

I think next off season I'm going to cut them out and re-do them -as well as the trans tunnel... It is hammered to **** in order to fit my trans.

 

Back from machine shop:

 

What happened?

 

It blew'd up?!

 

+1 what happened?

 

i put a muncie (m-21) in my last car and the linkage was super close to the transmission tunnel ---im sure you had to do plenty to get those heim joints to fit within the tunnel ---i removed the lumpy sheetmetal inside the tunnel and it clears-not by much but it clears---putting a m-22 in the car im building now--they have flat cut gears as well(going behind my 462bbc) ............jason

 

lost oil pressure... only ran it for maybe 20min... sucks.

My builder thinks the engine might have been hurt when I bought it... I had blasted the oil pan so I thought that did it -turns out there were other issues that blasting material could not have caused -back to square one. Engine should be done this week.


Yeah I bashed and hacked the trans tunnel up pretty good. Next off season I wanna just cut it all out and fab something nice up.

 

nice cage

 

How does the trans mount compared to the original location?

 

All back together -had her at the track Sunday -retarded fast!

 

HOLY INTAKE COUPLERS, BATMAN!!!

Sorry, had to say it.

Other than that, it looks freaking awesome, man.

I'm really lovin' that radiator, oil-cooler, intake setup you got goin'.

 

LOL I never noticed the couplers until now... lets see this bad boy in action I've been watching this build from day one. Keep it up.

 

Ran outta injector -and this is only with 19* of timing -plenty more left in her!

 

Love it.

 

Finally got some solid track time:



car feel great -in bad need of an alignment though.

great build.... I assume there are no cooling issues even on the track? That radiator looks massive, but not really ducted.

 

highest water temp I saw all day was about 210*

One of he benefits of that set-up is I can run a huge fan -no clearance issues. I have a 3000cfm 16" Flex-a-lite set to come on at 180* -works great!
