Don't forget to weld on the reinforcement plate for the outer Z bar frame ball stud. You can purchace it from stephens.
I priced out the Keisler set up -ouch-
I was jsut at a car show and admireing the 4 speed cars and thinking how fun it would be to bang gears with a 340 but not sure what it would cost to do so.
My bank account is always in danger when I get bored.
Small hole? Far from it. You need to have clearance for the 1-2 and 3-4 shifter rods as they go over the structural hump support. Remember, when cutting the "small hole", don't cut thru the structural support.
The 4 spd hump will somewhat center itself on the existing floor tunnel. Trace the outline of the 4 speed hump with a magic marker on the floor and cut approx. 1.5" inward from the magic marker line. Once the hole is cut, mount the trans w/shifter in place and attach the rods. Trim as necessary for rod clearance.
no need now for that drilled crank,, you can get a roller bearing that goes in the torque register hole now,,and its a item you can get at napa,,,about 20 bucks ithink,, so start looking for parts one at a time,,,
do you know the part number for that peice for a small block A833?
sweet/ ya its helpfull. i just need to find that frame plate to see if i can make it myself
with this bushing you dont need to drill the crank if it is originally an automatic crank right? this bushing just goes right into the converter register? no other mods nescessary?
is the bushing weak? or does it matter?
i would think that the way the factories did this is stronger?
