Anyway you can update your pics in your first posts in this thread? They are not showing and I take it those pics were of what the car looked like when you got it. Would like to see that.

I emailed ImageShack and they are no longer supporting the OLD ImageShack .... so I guess they are gone. I have all the pixs and when I get some time I'll try and upload the old pixs.

Thanks for asking .....

prebuild before painting! Well, got the engine out and mated to the 4L60E and slide them under the car and wouldn't you know .... the tranny mount is still too far forward for the frame mounts. I will need to either: modify the cross brace to mate to the brackets on the frame, or cut the brackets off the frame and re-weld them farther forward! Hmmmm.

Snails view @ 5" ride height, nothing below the crossmember ... yet!

Not much of an update, but my goal was met .... when it warms up to 50's get that dang tranny under the car! Now hopefully tomorrow I'll get the leaf spring brackets cut off the 12 bolt and prepare the weld on brackets and measure the pinion angle for one of many I'm sure!

Thanks for looking .... I've got homework to do now!

Michael call So I can help you with the problem.

Scott is it possible to mount the cross member to the trans and side brackets and get you pinion angle then weld the brackets to the frame ?

Michael, I think this bracket I fabbed up this morning will allow you weld it to the frt of the crossmember and move it back enough to catch the holes in the trans mount tab's. Sorry that you had a hick up. I've never had a 4L60E here for fit. I will start building the trans tabs about 4" longer.I will ship this out ASAP Monday morning.

Wayne, At first that was the Idea I had also. But I came up with this new weld on bracket so Michael didn't have to spend time cutting the old bracket off and grinding.This way he simply center up the new bracket,bevel the crossmember some and weld away.Out of 88 sub frame's I think only 2 or 3 guy's had used auto trans. And those guys I shipped the trans tab bracket's tacked welded so they could make ajustment's.

Scott .... that's perdy! I do appreciate the support and sorry to be different!

Thanks for the support, the bracket should work just fine, it's better than anything I could have come up with :superhack:

Scott is the man, thanks!!!

Thanks Scott. Just trying to think like you fabricators do, but that's a much easier way to do it. Nice solution.
