Well it's been a while, for a few reasons. Saving money to buy parts, renovations on the house (new office) and an active 6 month old baby boy.
I've recieved my 8073 Quicktime bellhousing a few weeks back.
The bellhousing did not come with instructions, lucky for my I've located some info about replacing the cheap bolts from quicktime with Grade 8 bolts. I bolted on the bellhousing to the trans.
As you can see only seven bolts are required as this one bolt near the starter opening doesn't line up.
Here's a couple of pictures of the bolts. Silver are cheap grade 5 and the gold are grade 8.
Then since I had the Hurst Billet Pro shifter I bolted that as well.
Well hopefully next time I'll have the mock up 5.7 block and T56 in the car and working on getting the floor finished.
