You never know, I might have one or two

UPDATE 4-29-12

I was able to find some time between work and my anniversary to get my transmission put in.

I got me a Tranzilla!! MUUHAHAHH!!!

It's basically a modified Tremec Magnum by Rockland Standard Gear.

Gear ratios:
2.97 2.07 1.43 1.00 .80 .50

It's built with carbon rings in gears 1 through 4 and a viper tailshaft/extension.




I'm so god damned stoked for this I can't take it. This thing shifts so damn nice it's crazy! Can't wait to actually drive it and shift it for real HAH!

They told me that this combo is good up to 1,000ft lbs, so i'm really ready to upgrade that motor when it gets a little too "slow" hehe.




The only problem I ran into was the cross member that comes with the speed tech frame. The Viper tailshaft is a lot lower than the stock T56. Had to add some extensions between the crossmember and the frame. Good thing this frame has so much room to play with I didn't really have to modify squat. Really makes things a lot easier, that's for sure. I need to change out the TH400 tranny yolk with a 30-spline viper version. Anyone have a spare one? *hint hint*

The car is going off tomorrow to the painter to get the hood painted, alignment and a few touch ups to some scratches I made. By then the rest of the stainless exhaust should have shown up so we literally only have that left and the car is ready to be driven!!
