Thanks for the response. I bet that is going to be a beast.

Pictures of my 3" custom 304 SS exhaust system that I built to clear the new transmission.

U do nice work. I likey

Thank you, Rick!

I am a little worried about that 8 3/4 rear with a healthy big block and a Lenco

Hi Gus,

I will replace the center section with the Aluminum through-bolted unit.

Should be strong enough then.

BR, Mark

Very Nice! I will be looking out for you. I'm building a 69 GTX clone street/strip car. Body, suspension and interior is almost done.

Hi Markz528, very nice GTX and garage!

I live over by the Kenwood Mall here in Cincinnati.

br, Mark

Wish it was my garage. Le Hodge is doing the car body and interior for me. Should be home soon.

You aren't too far away from me..............

Update:

New front AMD floor pans sectioned and welded in, primed, seam sealed, painted with body color and installed dynamat over entire front floor.

The dynamat is quite heavy, however I was able to cancel out the additional weight by installing .063 SS mandrel exhaust system which was about 15# lighter than the steel TTI crush bent H-Pipe, and I saved another 5# off of the mufflers.

I still may install a center console to hide the shift rods, and to cover up the holes in the tunnel for the shift towers and the slot for the reverser rod.

New molded carpet set from Brewers was also installed.

More to follow.

Mark

IDK but I love the linkage in the cab. Just says the rest of you are pussies.

But that's just me.

Hi Madscientist, I am concerned how much heat will come through the tower holes since they are oblong cutouts, and that is where the fill plugs are at to fill the transmission full of oil.

Now looking at my pictures, I may not be able to hide much inside the console...maybe I could get a upholstery shop to make a long cover that will slip over with Velcro???

I am a couple of days away from a re-fire of the car :-))

BR, Mark

I would think a good upholstery shop could make some covers with Velcro. I like the idea. Lif you have to R&R the trans anything you can do to make it quicker is better.

And like I said, I love the look of the shift rods like that.

Hey Mark, your GTX is looking great, love the Lenco!

John

Hi John, thank you!

Or the nodular from Dr.diff I just set up and installed in my Dart..............GREAT WORKMANSHIP...........

Hi Thumper, but the Aluminum one is lighter and cooler looking ;-))

So true man..............

Radiator had a small pinhole leak from installation of the engine without pulling the radiator...repaired but leaks.

I installed a Be Cool 1000HP Crossflow retrofit radiator that is much bigger.

Mark

Lookin good.
