Project update.
Bit of an update on the Cutlass.
We've got the motor and tranny set back in the frame and the body back on.
Things are fitting well. Other than the frame bracing and the rear seat floor pans are touching. We haven't decided how best to address this yet.
The Motor has a couple inches clearance from the fire wall which is great.
I'm currently working on welding in new floor pans and addressing the extra space needed to fit the 6l80e. This is my first time doing floor pans so I'm taking it slow.
Does anyone know if I'm going to need more clearance for the driveshaft in the stock driveshaft tunnel? I don't have a new shaft built but am curious if anyone has experience with an A-body and 6L80e?
Also made a few purchases for the build....
-Quick Performance 9" rear end with 3.70 gears and TruTrac posi.
-A body rotisserie
-Wilwood disc brakes
Just wish I had more time to work on it.
With a young family its tough.
