The frame is almost done so it's time to slam in the 455. I decided to wait on the front suspension. I'll put that on after I hang the headers this way I know how much room I have.

The TKO tranny is from Modern Driveline they sent to whole kit. I've never used the Quick time bell housing. Man that thing is nice I really like it.

I took a piece of roll cage tubing cut it. Made a washer (1/4" thick) from some bar stock.
Weld it in

Then I took some 1" .065 wall fish eye and weld it.

Well the rear suspension is done. Check it out, time to move on to the front. The shocks are from AFCO.
