Just another slow 2nd gen

Thanks

It’s great. I really wanted to keep the factory console as I want to keep the interior as stock looking as possible. That was what pushed me over the edge really. Installation was roughly 3 hours minus the time mocking up the t56.

It’s a great product overall. If I could do it all over again I’d definitely take the same route.

There are a few other 2nd gen guys that went this route on the forum as well.

Did it allow a lot of upward movement of the trans so the pinion angle could be set easily? That's the issue I'm facing now. I didn't bring my tunnel up as high as I thought so my pinion is angled too low.

Thanks for the information.

I'm sure you know it will be a little different for every application. Floor sag, transmission cross member, engine mounts, etc.

What I can tell you is that for me I have roughly 1 inch of gap. I'd think that is reasonable. Its also possible to bend the flange down around the base of the Holley Hump Panel to create even more of a gap.

Looks great! I'd consider painting the out tie rods before they rust so they continue to look great along with all the other pieces.

That’s a nice heads up. I’ll make sure I do that here pretty soon. Just picked up 4 1-ton wheel dollies from Harbor Freight so it’s easier to move her around the shop. Shouldn’t be too much trouble shooting them.

Next up is getting a replacement outer cowl panel for the drivers side. Tracked one down in AZ for 225 + shipping.

DSE steering coupler is next

That’ll be it until the summer/fall.

Decided to have a dedicated reply for this, but as you can see I decided to use the sub frame connectors I was running previously instead of the DSE connectors. The DSE connectors are a nice product/kit.

That said, I have the DSE connectors in their original box. They are for sale. Feel free to PM me.
