As you can see in the pictures I dont have much room for anything upfront and needed something very small and compact. ARE delivered, if you need the mandrel to be longer to drive anything else just let Gary know.
Thank you for posting that link. Just helped me. And great looking car. You have done a fantastic job!

I drilled a hole closer to the driver's seat and got LUCKY honestly. It's pretty much to the left of the factory hole of the emergency brake cable. Best advice I can give you is to hook up the shifter cable to the linkage on the trans then run the cable inside the car and figure out shifter placement from there.

Thanks, car developed a small miss on the passenger side right before I went back to work so I need to fix that, swap oil pans, alignment, then tune.

Did you get yours fired yet?

That it is, I was going to run the holley boost controller until my buddy that runs in x275 showed me his 2000. I ordered it that day.
I had to wait almost 2 months for my shifter, when I talked to him on the phone he said they are jammed up and running 3 shifts to try and keep the wait time down. I will say I had a issue with the cable bracket that came with the shifter, called him and told him the issue, sent some pics and had the revised bracket in less than a week. It's a AWESOME shifter, just have to be willing to wait. The cool thing is he DOES NOT CHARGE for it till it ships so he doesn't sit on your $$$ like alot of these other companies do.

yeah I haven't decided which boost setup I am going to use. I was thinking about the boost leash just from a price point but I don't know yet... I talked to them yesterday and they said it should be out soon they said about 2 months as well and we are right around that time lol. its a good think im not in a huge rush but I want to get my driver seat and all that fun stuff mounted up. I played with it at the haltech booth at world cup finals last year and said to myself if I ever buy a domestic with an auto im buying this freaking shifter lol

Sn95 brakes IIRC, my brother pieced it together for me. Cant give you a honest opinion on it yet considering I havent really gotten to make a real pass with it. I leave for work this coming wed so it will be 3 weeks before I get to go back.

After seeing all the oil pressure drop issues people were having with the f body oil pan I decided to address the issue before it even showed up. Ordered a custom pan from stefs and this thing is a very nice peace. While I was in there I shimmed my oil pressure spring for more pressure, 30 at idle warm just didn't give me a warm and fuzzy.
