Looks GREAT so far. Nice rear tires. Just the right size for a 55 
Can't tell for sure from the picture but it looks like the original transmission mount horns are still on the frame. If so, you might want to consider removing them for additional exhaust routing clearance.

Awesome.
Is the 4l85e a newer mutation of the 4l80?
If so, would it be possible (ormaybe you already know?) to find out what the dimension is from the motor mount to the trans mount?
Then overall length?
Thanks-
John
