1/15: Update

Took a few photos of the undercarriage after media blast round 2. I still have to tighten up a few areas with some extra welding prior to laying more seam-sealer / dropping it off for paint. Here are a few photos of that.

I also did a rough price out of how much it would cost to lay Lizard Skin Thermal and Sound in the interior. That stuff isn't cheap. Supplies alone with 4 gallons of each runs roughly $450. Seems pretty steep. I might hold off on the Lizard Skin until the spring.

How do you like that Holley tunnel piece? Thinking that might be easier and cleaner than me making my own.

Thanks

It’s great. I really wanted to keep the factory console as I want to keep the interior as stock looking as possible. That was what pushed me over the edge really. Installation was roughly 3 hours minus the time mocking up the t56.

It’s a great product overall. If I could do it all over again I’d definitely take the same route.

There are a few other 2nd gen guys that went this route on the forum as well.

Did it allow a lot of upward movement of the trans so the pinion angle could be set easily? That's the issue I'm facing now. I didn't bring my tunnel up as high as I thought so my pinion is angled too low.

Thanks for the information.

What I can tell you is that for me I have roughly 1 inch of gap. I'd think that is reasonable. Its also possible to bend the flange down around the base of the Holley Hump Panel to create even more of a gap.

You're right, every car is different. I also have half height body bushings on the front subframe to contend with. For $60, I think I'll give this piece a shot.

Thanks!

2/2: Update

Back from paint. Solid body mounts, sub frame, sub frame connectors, and rear suspension all installed. Wrapping up a few loose ends and then she goes back in to hibernation while my funds build back up.
