68 4-door "Sleeper"
I bought the XV Motorsports transmission plate. Until I got this plate, I always thought the threaded pieces on the torque converter were evenly spaced around the circumference. I marked the plate and torque converter so that, in the future, I don't spend so much time finding the correct position.
There is one hole in the bellhousing that doesn't bolt up to anything. Should I make a cover plate to keep water from getting splashed up in there?
The dipstick on the truck hemi is too tall. I decided to reduce the height by 2 inches. So, I used a tubing cutter to get a nice clean cut on the tube and welded it up, smoothed the weld and painted it black. Then, I used some snips to cut 2 inches out of the dipstick and welded it back together.
Now the dipstick isn't any higher than the alternator, now.
I finally put the engine and transmission in.
Here's a pic of it in there with the intake manifold on.
Of course the problem I am having now is with the steering column. I have to do some modifications to it. Does anyone know if a column shifter has ever been used with the alterktion hemi setup?
