My search for a shorty D100 is over
This weekend was productive for sure. Saturday I had help in the form of a Troy and Sunday my little bro flew in from North Carolina and I put him to work. Saturday we loaded up the 46RE on to the (overloaded) transmission jack and bolted it up. Only a small 6” portion of the pinch weld had to be hammered flat for dipstick clearance and the trans fit great. Sunday we made a trans crossmember with the Chevy mount from my T56 and some steel I pillaged from work. It turned out great and the trans is now completely installed. We also were able to stuff the headers in up from the bottom while the truck was jacked up high with only a slight 1/8” clearance cut to the driver side frame rail. My transmission controller showed up UPS on Saturday so last night I opened the box and read through the very detailed instructions, seems pretty straightforward and that’ll be the next task. Didn’t document the work well this weekend but here’s a few pics.
