Tremec TKX first cuts
Today I ordered a pedal assembly rebuild kit and pedal pads from Brewers. I also set my painted cross member in place.
My transmission tail shaft will set the same height as the 833. The closest area from the car to transmission is the upper cross member which is about 3/8". I can put my finger tips between transmission and floor every where else. The speedo lightly touches the inner torsion bar cross member as it transitions to flat. Has been mocked up.
I like how it turned out so far. The only thing I would have done differently is how I gusseted the inner cross member. I used square tube vertical. It did not fit well and made it harder to weld and look decent.
My transmission mount and upper cross member should meet or exceed OEM. Will be running larger torsion bars and a 451 with aluminum top end.
Going to focus on putting the interior and glass in the car for a while to free up garage space. Still have to put the top end of the engine together also.
