One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

jbc,
That looks a lot like the underside of my Barracuda before it went under the knife:axe:!!!
Remember to remove extra material from that back lip of the cross member (driver's side)!! Also, if you insert and weld in any metal plates into that gap behind the shifter down rod be aware that there is a spot weld as you approach the lower radius where it transitions from semi-vertical to horizontal.
Don't put the old shifter in a box in the basement. It will be scared in there, sell it to me so I can modify it to shift down into low gear on my 2004R. I would hate to have my car not running while I remove mine and modify it so I'm probably going to buy a shifter, modify it then swap them out. I finally got the 3.73 gears in my Barracuda but unfortunately the mechanic told me not to abuse the gears until they had 100 miles on them. So I'm driving around town burning gas like a fool just so I put enough miles on it so I can burn some rubber :burnout:. The extra trans cooler does an excellent job keeping the trans temp at 180/190 degrees (max). I live in South Texas and it's hot and humid eleven months out of the year. Even when it's 98 degrees outside the trans temp doesn't rise above 185 degrees!!:blob:

Your conversion is looking pretty nice, be sure and post lots of pics of the transition to help other members. If you need any info all you have to do is ask.
