Bartamos, I joined the eng & trans and the trans adapt cross member came. I think I'm going to take the front clip off so I can manuver things around.I still have the dilema of the clutch. I've seen a few different set ups. I looked at the Novac design that you sugested
I also seen a hydrolic throw out bushing ( eliminates the shift fork?). I know that I will need to install a slave cylinder( placement on the fire wall?). I'm all ears. I'm going after a manual today. I'v been creeping around underneath and it looks pretty ruff under there
brake lines are very beet and the fuel tank situation will have to be addressed (the tank cant be more than 15 gallons it's tiny). the body bushings are all over the place as far as their conditiion( I was thinking they should be replaced. that being said moving the frame out and dealing with it seems fairly straight forward. then I could wire it and paint it). what are your thoughts about moving the booster out of the frame rail and placing it on the fire wall? It seems to me that when the exaust goes in it will have to travel down the drivers side pretty close to the booster the transfer case looks to be an obstruction on the passengsr side. I have a doner 74 square body to pull booster and master off of. ( what do you think the 454 is worth? it could help a bit with the sub expenses). thank you for your time it has been more helpful than some of my local shade tree mechanics.
