Got the new axle in the car finally! 12-bolt with 3.55 gears and an Auburn posi, new axle shafts, etc. I converted it to LS1 brakes, too.

Thanks, Tim!

Hows the tire fitment...are those the wheels you will be using? If so the axle looks a bit wide...might be the pic angle?

Yep, those are the wheels we are using. I think it is the Camera angle that makes it look like that. The axle is a bit wider than the stock axle, but it is getting the tire and wheel to sit right where I want it in the wheelwell.

Transmission is here! Super T-10 4-spd, SPEC traded out the T56 clutch and flywheel they donated for a ST-10 clutch and flywheel, and Hogshead Trans Am parts donated a bell housing. I'm working on Hurst to see if they'll hook us up with a shifter and linkage, should find out tomorrow.



We had a good week with the project. ARP donated all the engine bolts, Flowmaster donated a complete exhaust system, Harland Sharp donated a set of 1.6 roller rockers, EPN donated a set of stainless 2.02/1.60 valves, and I'm working on a few header companies to see what we can score there.

IT IS COMING TOGETHER!

Doug Thorley also hooked us up with a set of longtube headers, we'll post pics as soon as they get here!
