Default Holley Trans Pan finally getting installed (( 12-31-23 ))

Who needs to go out and celebrate New Years Eve.

Just kidding I went in after I put the pan in and celebrated with my girls.



Since the pan is aluminum I will be epoxying the magnet in.



The pan.

Magnet going in.





I had to put the steel pan back up as it a drippy little thing.



The plan is to clean the steel pan and just put it up in my attic. JIC



and it's in !!!

That will be way to full. Pan rail is the full line.

The Shinoda Syclone is cool. I didn't know they had T Tops til I went looking.

Hi Donny,

The trucks with Give-A-Ways in a contest and unfortunately I did not win the contest. But I did find one for a good price and I drove it home from St Louis.

The red line on the Lokar Dipstick represent the max full which is about 3/4 below the bottom of the transmission case. The blue line is where
I filled the trans to at this point. Which is about a 1/4 lower and once I am able to drive the car ( weather sucks here ) I will top it off.

derp You're right, I got it backwards.

So twice, I have had 4L60s that just wouldn't seal up no matter what I did and in both cases the Lokar dipsticks were wrong (and opposite of yours) and the trans was just way overfull.


Continuing the side bar. Did they really just cut to tops off the doors to do the T Tops?

I had the same issue and of course I overfilled the trans.
