Keisler 5-speed conversion on Early A-body: Install has begun

dave; from the pics i have seen,,that tranny cross member is not over engineered,,and wil not make up for what you have cut out,,he is handing you a lot of crap,,its good that you didnt cut that top hoop out completly,, from seeing what you have done,,when i get that far i wil reinforce the hoop some how,, either put a piece of flat stock back in,,or remove it completly and reshape some thing,,,even tho i do not have torsion bars any longer,,

the part that didnt clear that top hoop part,,,is it a spot on the trany that can be milled off like the other spot milled and covered ???

glad you got your car back,and your under construction,,cant wait to se if finished,,,,

if you can i would put a piece in there,,,just my 2 cents no harm intended,,,
