Keisler 5-speed conversion on Early A-body: Install has begun

Hey Dave,
I am about 10 minutes from Moshers shop. If you make it down this way, send me an e-mail...I would not mind a trip over to see Moshers shop.

BTW, In looking at the jig they use to lift the chassis, it does not seem very difficult to weld up. Might be worth making something that would work...I am sure we could build it substantially cheaper than what someone quoted earlier in this thread...Besides, I need to get ready to weld up my upper control arms and need to dust off the cobwebs from the welder.

Thanks,

I used to live in Pasadena. I'm guessing they are somewhere off the 210 fwy.

I am definetely going to weld up my own jig. It will be a good project for me and I have some extra pieces of steel I can work with. It looks like all I really need to do with the engine stand is remove the vertical bar and install a couple of support bars up front to support/steady the front of the K-frame. By looking at all the pictures I've seen I have a pretty good idea of how to do it now. I like the simple use of 4x4s in the Moshers pics. Simplicity is good. If I end up coming down I'll let you know. The Fling for sure.
