Paint jail. They just started on it this week. Hope to have first stage and in primer by next week. Color is narrowed to these, or just black with stripe.
Allrighty then! I currently have a LS6-T56 mounted on their now I didn't notice your engine mounts- I will go back and look and I really don't see an issue with it being raised some and forward I may see if I can go forward 1" as that may help mount a small Sanden compressor as AC isn't an option in Texas it's a requirement! and with the belt system these have that would be a major win. I did speak to Detroit speed and when they designed the frame there was no LSA or LS 7? IIRC . I believe the factory manifolds will allow my rack steering shaft to fit fine
next my transmission issue is the std T56 wont accept the LSA dual disc clutch so that will need to go and that leaves me with modifying the TR6060 and possibly using the T56 tail housing for shifter mounting but also requires a longer main shaft to allow a slip yoke to be used and of course the T56 is couple inches longer than the TR6060 man this has opened a whole can of worms for me! I really have to rethink this! thank you for taking the time to explain
final question : so you did move the shifter closer to the transmission, by how much?
I'm doing the same swap into my first gen camaro and haven't picked which transmission I am going to run yet. but from what I am reading, you are going to change the whole transmission just to run a stock lsa dual disk clutch? Why not just use an aftermarket dual disk?
Hardtop is going to be Nightshade Grey Metallic (still working on stripe), and the vert Hyper Blue Metallic with white bumblebee. The vert was really clean with the exception of the quarters and lower outer wheel wells. i opted to patch the outer wheel wells due to the amount of work and structure on the convertibles, combined with the fact the not a lick of rot an inch off the lips. everything will be aligned, cleco'd, and the quarter will be removed to scribe and cut the replacement lip for a clean butt weld..
