at least you won't get all dirty working on that fresh restore job and all the bolts should come out nice and easy

Got the old drivetrain out and we are getting close to starting with the &quot;Fun&quot; part of the rebuild........Gonna find out what fit's.....and what doesn't......Then make it fit.........Everything will be documented here so as to help others in the future.......or.....If anyone has been down this road, feel free to help with any advice.........My biggest concern right now is with the 6L90E trans.........I'm not concerned so much with cutting the tunnel.........But by how much will be sticking down below the crossmember as this thing is huge.......I also did some rough measuring and it seems like the top of the supercharger will be about an inch too high for the hood to close.......But....I'll know more when we get a little further along...

About the trans, make sure you get the driveshaft joints angled correctly. Pinion angle and gearbox angle are important. Many conversions end up with the gearbox leaning down to much.

Gonna be nice to see this one [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
