Transmission swap??
Yes, I was gong to just fab up the mount myself, but this is such a nice piece. Not to mention, I hate laying under a car and welding, plus this just takes away the mental anguish of overthinking everything.

It does look like a work of art.
 
Tinkered for a few last night.. Long enough to cleanse my brain and offer it some relief.

The vent hose has been on my mind. Hits pretty good in the tunnel and I really didn't want to cut father forward.. Ac/heat box is there and I'm not taking that thing out again.. If I do, it'll be for a ac upgrade.

Anyway.. Took some misc pieces and parts that I had and relocated the trans vent.

I was able to sleep peacefully after that.

I previously ran a 1.08 t-bar, Hotchkis shocks, and their sway bars. You will read online that big bars will beat you to death. That statement couldn't be more false. If you have a good shock to control the spring rate a big bar offers, you will be good.

agree 100%. i'm running 1.08 bars and 130 pound rear springs with a simple bilstein shock.. car rides great. i also have a hellwig front bar on it..
