Before the trans arrived I was talking to David P. and he mentioned that Super Chevy was doing a suspension challenge although interested I did not know what was involed or what they wanted. On top of that my car is in pieces. He gave me Steve R's number, we talked and got a feel for what the wanted. I was really unsure because my car was apart and it was two days away and it was a two day event. But as i am on the phone with him and getting home the trans arrived so the wheels in my mind start going....hmmn a chance to get in a mag, two days to get the car together.....stupidity took over and I told him I was sure I could get the car together and make it.
I then call up my driveline guy to set up a Saturday appointment to shorten the driveshaft. He tells me he can't do it......crap!!!! being last minute I was not confident I could find someone so in another moment of stupidity I decide to put my old trans back in. Armed with a new clutch, slave and axle bearings and seals I go about starting to put the car together. I cleaned up the opil mess from the rear and goth that together first. i moved on to the clutch and got that installed and then it was on to the mofo trans. I got it up on a Harbour Freight trrnas jack and lined up before I called it a night. I was beat!
