T56 Magnum Conversion

Nice work! I didn't realize you were doing the swap. Just a quick note, since your interior is out, install some heat barrier in. My Dart expels a lot of heat from the trans tunnel even with dynamat and a carpet.

Yeah, I've always had a quite warm floor before with the 4-speed. I remember leaving my phone on it before and I'd bet it was 110-120F, so maybe 30-40 degrees above ambient. I'll have to look into it. I'm not sure I'll have the interior all done this year since we have maybe 2-3 months before snow is a threat. Not sure how fast it will go from here on out since the mechanical work needs to be done, and I need to get a driveshaft on order.

Today I got the flash rust cleaned off the new metal, some grinding where needed, primer, seat reinforcement brackets welded in, Passenger seat bracket modified to fit correctly, and some unneeded holes in the floor welded up.
