The housing was bent, I straightened the tubes the best I could and just welded the housing ends on straight. they were a little offset from the housing but I was using a jig.
Im using a stock t45 driveshaft and a long tail th350.

I took some pictures and an idle video the other day.

The torque converter has been off center for a while now, and I finally got around to putting the alignment spacer in. I pulled the x pipe, passenger header, drive shaft, and starter just to pull the trans back 3 inches.

Sounds strong af

It runs decent for a cam only 5.3, It still needs some tuning. It has a mail order on it now. Ive been thinking of switching to a 5 speed. This is still a driver, ps, pb, heater, and soon to have ac. I have a G-force t5 I got with another project that Im considering using. i could use my factory driveshaft, factory clutch cable and a ls7 clutch(gforce is 26 spline). The th350 is still giving me major vibration issues, and Im tired of not having overdrive. I understand it wont be as consistent, but I feel like on the street itll be a lot more fun.

Hey awesome build looks amazing. What did you do for a trans cross member?

jgh64pkup

Its just a piece of tubing with angle on the ends and some c channel for the trans mount.

Not a whole lot going on with the car, but I just got moved into my new house and finally got everything moved out of my dads shop into my garage.

When you taking her to the track to get them shakedowns in?

jgh64pkup

As soon as the track opens back up. Its still on a mail order tune, and I need to sort out some transmission issues before I get it tuned. I should be able to make some motor passes though.

Well Im in the middle of a 4l80e swap. I built some subframe connectors to mount the trans crossmember to. ordered a edge racing 9.5" converter. All I have left is reinstalling the pcm that I sent back to the tuner for the 80 tune, and mounting my shifter.

I had a 4l80e in my car last season. I had to use lower profile cooler fittings to clear the tunnel:

Also, is your converter non-lockup? If so, the trans requires modifications to run a non-lock.

jgh64pkup

I ended up running the low profile fittings. the regular 90s werent even close to fitting.
Its a lockup converter, wanted to keep that for drivability. It still has heat/ac, power steering, power breaks, keyless entry, and power windows. Its just not billet, its one of their budget converters.

Well change of plans, I've been contemplating switching to turbo for a long time. I decided to jump head first into it. Plans are forged 5.3, gt4788, and a glide. shooting for 1000rwhp and 5.50s. Planning on keeping ac, ps, and pb if I can.
