Final pic shows the test fit. All components are under the dash including the fuses, MSD, and battery cut off (theft more than anything). Not original but I like a clean under hood look. The only harness connectors are for the TI switch and the harness to the rear.

Excellent Jeff! Can we drop the tail of the trans a tad or do you think it needs it?

Finally drilled body to accept the Enots cap for fuel addition. This starts the process of fuel lines for the start up.
I think it is good as the trans will hit the crossmember if I lower it another 1/2", wanted a little bit of play. Rubber mount may also settle a bit. I am very close to the tailshaft height when compared to 2136. Should be fine.... Thanks for question.
Vintage bowmalloy hardware was from Kevin Ahern. Thanks!

Hi Jeff How long is your drive shaft (center to center) of U joint. It doesn't look like it could slide much more into the trans. When I was checking things out for my build . I thought boy this thing needs a short drive shaft.
Reading between the lines it sounds like you might think the trans mount might need to be lowered . Is this for drive line at the correct angles. I take it that the big fin or gusset on the T10 tail housing will hit the cross tube if lowered much more. How far down is the top of the trans mount (the compared to the top of the frame. I don't mean the rubber but the steel where the rubber mounts. I ask some of this because I think there is some problems with my plans . I know that I am building a coupe and the engines were lower 1 inch and offset to the right 1 inch. I am not sure if they lower the trans mount on my plans. I think if it were lowered it wound have better drive line angles. I have a pic of one of the coupes that shows the trans mount has been lowered and the cross tube dented for clearance of the shift linkage and the fin on the tailstock .
Your car is sure looking good .
Mark

The driveshaft from base of the flange yoke to center of trans yoke is 9 5/8". I have about 1/8" to the trans boot then it will sqeeze an additional 3/4". Keep in mind I have IRS so the only movement of the trans yoke will be motor movement in the rubber mounts. Motor, bellhousing, trans and differential all connected to frame thus stuck fast. Movement comes from the half shafts.
The trans height does not offer a straight shot to the diffy. The drive shaft is designed for slight offsett using 1310 ujoints. In order to drop the trans low enough to make straight shot I would have to shave bottom of trans, lower trans mount, possibly cut out and lower crossmember or notch it. At that point I would push into the driveway and light her up.....  Then buy a KMS....
This set up will work just fine...  |

Thank Jeff Please don't take the wrong way. I wasn't saying there is anything wrong with your setup. I was just asking questions to help straighten out some problems I might be having with mine. I was asking about the trans mount adjustment because small changes can fix drive line vibration problems. My u joint working angles are not equal so I think I need to work on the mount. I to am trying to build to original specs and as accurately as possible.

No negative taken....  we are cool
I am getting itchy for a drive and just need to assemble and leave it be. I have done my best to follow the old school technique and think I did a good job.
Just at the point where once its on the car it is there until it falls off... 
Set gas cap ito body last night so its time to order braided cloth lines.....
Also starting inner panels to the frame... Yikes this just might be on the road soon.
Thanks guys! |

How long has it been?
Wow, awesome build. After all this work, are you going to be afraid to drive it. Fearful someone might run into you and mess up all that beautiful work?
