In addition to working on the electronics, we also had a chance to mock up the engine with the adapter and the transmission. Please keep in mind this is just a loose mock-up. We were missing a couple of key parts, like the flexplate and the dowel pins between the adapter plate and the transmission.
This is BA's engine. It was recently on the dyno and made just under 700HP.
This is one of the transmissions that Tom got and it already has the PCB modification performed.
The Domiworks adapter plate fit the engine block perfectly. It is a nice touch that they included the oil pan bolts.
The adapter has beautiful chamfers on all of the edges. I really appreciate that kind of detail.
The is the "wagon wheel" adapter that bolts to the torque converter and a stock LS flexplate. BA actually has a TCI SFI flexplate and I will be getting a SFI flexplate from Circle D. Notice that the wagon wheel has provisions for all 3 of the popular flexplate to converter bolt patterns.
Here are the transmission and the adapter plate put together. Notice the offset bolt in the adapter for Gen V LT engines. This is critical for Tom, who obviously has a LT based engine in his BMW.
Here is a just a close look at the transmission and adapter.
This is more of the same from the other side.
More to come eventually. Things are in a bit of a holding pattern until this cold snap is over.
