This is a pretty big update as lots of parts came together for the first time and this is the first time the drive line has been put into the car. Lets start with the stuff I mess with during the week after work. I am running Anvil Phantom marker lamps. I'm not much for having the same thing as everyone else so I converted them to LED.





So with that out of the way lets get started on Saturdays projects as I had a lot of stuff to test fit. Back story on the large part of this is to make the C5 frame fit into a '69 Camaro I had to make the wheel base 3.5" longer on the Vette frame. That in turn made my torque tube 3.5" to short to fit into the new wheel base and I was going to have my tube made longer. Being I wasn't in a hurry for it I never got that done which worked out best for me. Knowing that the C6 torque tubes are a different length I started to research how long they were. I was also looking into how much longer the TR6060 is because the front pump in it is why the C6 torque tube is a different length as well as the wheel base being different (due to the auto 6 speed being longer was the main reason for that). I found that since early C6 cars came with the T56 and late came with the TR6060 that the early cars had a longer torque tube. The bell housing is also deeper because of the twin disk clutch in the ZR1. I found that some people were able to swap the 7 speed manual into their C5 and C6 cars and its roughly 1 3/4" longer than the T56. So after a lot of math and crunching numbers I was able to figure out that a 2006 C6 Z06 torque tube and bell housing, a C7 Z06 transmission, and a C6 Z06 rear diff. (output shaft is bigger on the Z06 trans than the standard and same with the rear diff.) all linked together came out to 3.61" longer than my C5 stuff. In theory it should fit.



Also to make this work I needed to swap the rear cradle because of how the transaxle mounted. Here you can see the difference in the bell housing height.






So now the moment of truth came and everything fit like it was designed to from the factory. The shifter even lined right up in the factory location.

Part 2

Having the hard stuff done I aligned the car so I know where my wheels were supposed to be so I could measure for rear rims.





With all of that done I was able to mount the shark fin antenna, check supercharger lid clearance, and test fit the 2" C6 Z06 headers.








Since I still had some time left in the day I started mock up of the supercharger reservoir

Cool that your patience & homework yielded a factory options combo that fit vs. additional custom mods/expense.

Exactly. Not only no custom torque tube, my drive line will handle the power without having to get to expensive with the upgrades.

Amazing job just to figure it out never mind to getting it to actually work. I loved this build from the very beginning, now even more. Keep the updates coming!
