New K is in and everything is buttoned up and alignment is done. I'm going with +8.5 degrees caster, -2 degrees camber and zero toe. I didn't even drive it before I took the transmission out. What a pain in the *** that is.
Here's what needs to happen just to get the trans out of this turd.
The console needs to be removed so I can remove the shifter. The headlight and wiper switch are in the console, so those need to be unplugged with some contortionist style wrist movement
The TKO needs to be on a rather steep angle to come out, so that means the engine needs to tilt back rather far. This steep angle means the intake manifold will squash the wires on the bulkhead behind it. So off comes the intake. Oh also motor mounts need to be loosened.
The X pipe also needs to be removed since the crossover lands right where the very end of the tail shaft is once the input shaft is pulled from the bellhousing. If the X was 3" further back, I could probably get away with just disconnecting the headers. I'll start getting it back together this week.
Who's idea was it to build custom stuff???
The next project with be lowering "blocks". But its really more like lowering flat bar, just to drop the back the same as I did the front.
