57 Nomad Project

[kwhizz]

Now we get to the part I have been worried about..........Getting the 4L85E transmission into the car.....Get the car up on the lift and the moment of truth.......5 minutes later the trans is bolted in place with no issues at all.......plenty of clearance all around.......the 57 has an extremely large trans tunnel.........the Trans mount even bolted in place with two of the existing bolt holes.....But....After looking at the relation between the engine and the firewall, I may move the engine forward 1/2" to give the engine harness a little more room.........gonna check it out a little closer today...........

Looking great Ken!!



Was chuckling to myself with the transmission lift.... you have no idea how much stuff I've hoisted on mine! I've built all kinds of jigs for it even - to hold various parts - sometimes having nothing to do with cars. LOL
