The biggest part of the trans tunnel is finished and all that is left is lifting the aft end of the tunnel to meet the new height of the trans tunnel. But before that I’m starting on the cross member that will be made from 3/8 aluminum, I’ll post a few drawings of the cross member design soon.
Thanks
Pat

Test fit the TTI headers and they fit great! Left side just touches the corner of the starter but there are no gasket installed yet and should clear when in. I also started on the cross member by making a plywood template. I should have it mocked up over the weekend and make the aluminum cross member next week.
Thanks
Pat

I finished mocking up the cross member with plywood and will duplicate in aluminum. This design will eliminate the need for the over the trans cross member. I think with a few modifications this cross member could also be used with a stock torsion bar suspension as well.
Thanks
Pat

Had a friend weld the aluminum cross member for me and I think it looks great! With a little adjustment it fit as good as it looks!
Thanks
Pat















I add a flange at each end and I need to weld on the end caps to the original cross member. Also reused the original crush brace for the new hole I added for the cross member.

For anyone interested here is a drawing of how I think this cross-member could be made to work with a stock torsion bar suspension.

Thanks

Pat

Cut the aft end of the trans tunnel and tacked it in place and now it is looking close to original.
Thanks
Pat

Effin A... I know how much time and labor it took just to take one apart and put it back together like the factory did.. Lots of wire wheel time.....

I made a shifter cover with a similar shape as an original 4 speed cover using a wood block and a press. This will cover will be removable for shifter access.
Thanks

This is the shifter that came with the T56 and I would like to find an original 1968 T handle shifter that I can modified the T handle to trigger a relay for the reverse lockout on the new trans. If anyone has one or knows where to get one please let me know. I’ll check at Carlisle in a few weeks.
Thanks
Pat
