Well my tranny isnt going to be back till next week sometime, but I did make alittle progress today. Fixed the exhaust that I had to hack out and mounted my cooler. I havent seen anyone mount their cooler here, so let me know what you guys think.

Idunno it may not get enough air passing over the intire surface of the cooler. Ive always mounted mine infront of the radiator b/c you know there is always air flowing though it. It may work there though, I would concider installing a mini fan to pull air though it.

Well i hope ur wrong. I figured that it would get just as much air in this spot as it would if I mounted it "dope style." Which I would probably have to do anyway.

Get tranny back tomarrow, hope to get started reinstalling it tomarrow nite. Where is the best place for my temp gauge? Put it in the return line right?

Got tranny back today. Got converter installed, tranny reinstalled, torque arm, drive shaft, tunnel brace, starter, ect. Still got a good bit of work left to do. I still need to run my cooler lines, exhaust hangers and clamps, and wire in new digital tranny temp gauge. O yeah put tranny temp sensor in cooler line and wide band back into exhaust. Should be shredding tires by this weekend. Hopefully!!??
