Rob sorry I didn't call you back but I was to busy pounding my head on the wall with the big block.


Did you get the correct bellhousing with the 22 degree offset for the F-Body trans?

Yes i did.  and I picked the wrong holes.   The 22 degree offset holes are smaller.  To use them i would have to drill them out and weld nuts to the back off the bellhousing.  Or fix the mount.   I can get a steel plate  tig welded to the crossmember.  What to do?

My new set back is the headers.  The g-body type fits the pass side but not the driver side.  Then the f-body fits the  driver side but not the pass side.  I still have to check it with the steering shaft.  all this because I wanted that lakewood bellhousing confuse So my choices are to buy two sets of headers, make my own, or have it made.

Did a little more work  to the car today.   Put the steering box back in and installed   the jeep steering shaft.  Test fitted the driver side header and it will be a f-body.

Wow Rob nice finesse with the cross member, your such a perfectionist, Its like a fine art.

How long were you working on those body mounts for? Real smart idea tho! gotta love that NY salt.

FYI: its mike your cousin, I've been keeping tabs on this page but nothing new ever showed up, until today I got this great idea to refresh the page. and BAM there it was a second page lol.

Love ya Peace,
Mike

My headers came back from jet hot coating.  I 'm still upset that I had to buy 2 sets headers (f-body and g-body. 

Look they don't hit yeah!!
