Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
The Tremec has different shifter locations on it's body that can be used. We're still not sure if we can find a shifter assembly that will get us close to the factory 4-speed location. Spence and I started researching it tonight but it will probably take a few phone calls tomorrow to find out for sure. The floor modification can't be finished until we have the parts on hand. Maybe we'll get them ordered tomorrow too.
You can see that the transmission crossmember had to be cut. We'll have to fab a new one. I suppose I'll be getting rid of the old torsion bar mounts too but I won't worry about them until we get the geometry correct on the engine/transmission. We may be using some of the info that was on a link Abodybomber had posted this week. It showed how to set the correct angles for engine/transmission/driveshaft/rear ends.
This is the way we left her sitting for the night. We'll hopefully make good progress tomorrow.
