So this is happening. Got questions, comments, etc. leave them and I'll check in periodically and provide answers.

So far:

* 1971-74 B-body and 1970-74 E-body pedals both will work.
* Transmission is a Tremec TKX five-speed, from American Powertrain
* Bellhousing fits beautifully...if it wasn't for my exhaust in the way.
* Trans crossmember and torsion bar crossmember has a minor fitment issue. Probably will be solving that with a grinder.

Very cool! What motor?

Neat!

What a cool project!

Stock 360 at the moment. Still not decided on the future engine upgrade - either built small-block or 3G Hemi, but either way I should be good to go with minimal effort.

Cool project! Love the license plate!

I'd go with the 3G. Even just a stone stock 3G would put you so far ahead of the original 360....

Will be curious to know how you like it. I'm planning on installing a TKX in my 69. A friend installed one in his 69 Mach One, and loves it.

I remember my 76, rotted out before the 80s were done. Was my 1st car.
Now I have a 78 fury 2 door hardtop

Has to beat the last m/t car I had (a miserable pile of a 2012 Chevy Cruze) by a mile.

LOL, That is what I drive daily. Definitely NOT a performance car, but it was cheap, gets good mileage, easy to get parts to fix it, easy to work on etc. I refuse to have an expensive daily driver, when I drive 90 miles to work round trip.

Mine was a 2012 Eco model. Bought it when I was driving 17-18,000 miles/year covering events for BangShift. When it worked, it was great...nimble, kind of sporty, great fuel economy, and didn't look like I had completely given up on life. But the repairs...it had a new transaxle put in as soon as I bought it, then the 1.4 ate it's PCV valve, so I did a CruzeKits fix on it and replaced the valve cover, then learned that the hydraulic throwout bearing failed which nuked the clutch. And a clutch job on a Cruze is a bigger PITA than sitting on a cactus. Everything but the engine comes out of the front of the car. Sold the car for a minor loss and wound up with a Chevy Volt instead for the eco-trip vehicle in the fleet.

Glad I ran across this post. Watching.

Very cool project. My 1st and only new car. $6300. Had Bucket seats with out console.

While waiting on some information from the engineers who are working with me, decided to clean up and paint the floor shift column I have for the car. Originally from a '79 300. In the comparison shot, you'll notice that the paint color I used is very close to the leather color that Craft Customs picked for the Tuff wheel. The darker adapter is the Mirada adapter they painted. In no way am I knocking them at all...I just didn't expect that an FMJ adapter wouldn't work on a B-body.

Floor shift column swap.
