UPDATE: The 383 is gone. I sold the longblock for 2K. Kind of cheap, but I needed it gone.

I also got the trans tunnel opened up and mounted the transmission for mock up.

Tunnel was opened up 4" total to make room for this T56





I've still got some more work to do, but it's getting there.



Crossmember worked perfectly without modification.

I finished up the tunnel last weekend. Made the very rear removable with rivnuts. This will allow me to pull the cover so the trans can be removed separately from the motor if I need to work on it.



Tunnel complete


This weekend I started off by getting my hydraulic clutch setup working. I bought a bracket off of ebay that mounts the clutch master cylinder and then installed my 1964 clutch pedal. I welded a tab onto the clutch pedal to connect the hydraulic clutch rod to my pedal.

Same here.

And I love the idea of being able to pull the motor or trans separately. Great Job.
