shop vac rigged up to a 5 gallon bucket with hose attached that will go in the fill plug hole. it's just an idea, you can work the details out. what I envision is the separator used on a blasting cabinet to keep the dust down. or what's used in a wood shop. maybe try it with a "disposable" shop...

Nice looking Gremlin! I'll be watching to see what you do for mounts. I dropped a 360 in just to see where stuff fits. Looks like A-body mounts would work with plates on top of the factory frame. Was leaning toward a 4-speed swap but we'll see.

when I saw the picture I thought 9" but read and it said 8-3/4. guess if it can be made into dual fitment, saves money for development.

Ultra Bell? I believe that's the name of the company or product name.

I believe you are missing one housing, #657. It was used in a 61 only Canadian 383 car if memory serves me correctly. the large bearing in a 742 is the smallest bearing in this unit. If somebody has an old BCA catalog, please verify this. if not, ignore the ramblings over here...

bolts right in UNLESS PO moved the springs on his car.

I had a small block Dart with solid Moroso engine biscuits and the standard OEM transmission mount. Worked with no problems. Was going to update to the later trans crossmember and urethane style mount...75 model.

any concern for debris getting in there?

Vefron gears was one of the places recommended

did this on the floor in my younger days, don't remember how long the pipe extension was but it was 1/2" drive socket and breaker bar.

2.74 1st gear?

You're welcome. Glad I could remember something from transmission class and rebuilding one. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I believe there is a sheet metal baffle behind it...it's a vent. "Sometimes", a plug is put in and a vent is put on the tailshaft housing on top.

bolt hole up under lower starter nut and tubes are underneath starter/bellhousing/bracket. Guessing...

was thinking a cold cut saw, setting up would take some time,ya know,measure twice,cut once.

Grant, thank-you for the explanation. It just "seemed" easier to slip them on and weld but after your description I understand why that would not be the best way to do it. Guess I was looking for quick and easy...which might end up with more headaches in the end. Thanks again! Bob

are the housing ends which would be used when narrowing a housing that would "slip on" the tubing?

Gear lube or ATF fluid in trans? A friend had his redone and the rebuilder recommended ATF. Thought in past readings that was not going to work. Whatever the problem,hope it's simple.

could "drop" the center link, cut at each side and drop it with rectangular tubing(?), drill holes in sides and put the center link ends in. I can draw it better than I can explain it! there is probably a picture somewhere. done maybe for a BBC in a Chevy II?

are there any upper ball joints that have longer shanks? possibly in the oval track parts? the spacers are not more than 1/2"... reading about that trans crossmember, there is no mention of spacing the k-frame. if you were to use the 67-72 K-frame, use a thinner engine insulator. or fabricate one.

67-75 A-Body 518 Crossmember Kit

I spoke with Chris at US Car Tool yesterday about the 518 cross member. He stated clearly the sheet metal in the tunnel would not have to be removed with the use of their Crossmember. I asked him if they have additional pictures of the tranny installed or how many total cars their shop has...

I get it now. IF the whole brace had to be redone with it in the stock mount location, it might look like a 4WD with a transfer case hanging underneath there. I've got an A518 in the back of the garage but no A-bodies to wiggle it into. I'll keep watching and see what the outcome is. IF you had...

Is the transmission mount lower on the trans itself? Not trying to be my usual difficult self but it seems if you lowered both and could get away without notching anything, it would be a win-win! But that is just my thought, not actual experience. I'll be quiet now and listen and learn. Thanks...

would you be dropping the transmission crossmember and/or mount also?

8.8 swap Oops! got excited and posted before reading all the way thru and seeing he cut the housing.
