Decided I could through up a few more shots of some of the other things I've got done to this point.
I had to modify the water neck because it will be right under the cab floor.
I also built and installed a engine cross member, the engine/trans will come out from the bottom if needed. And no I have no exhaust clearance issues :-)
The engine is offset 1" to the passengers side, this centered the trans in the cross member where the carrier bearing used to live. Later I will build a trans mount which hangs off the same cross member.
I've also completed the wiring as far as I can go at this point. I stripped all the unneeded circuits and separated the harness back to the ECU. Having the intake reversed and having a mid mounted set up almost all the wiring will need to be modified in length and routing. I'm still undecided as to where to mount the electronics.

There was a beaut like this (only finished) on E-Bay a few years ago, bright green and built on a Toronado front drive frame. It looked like this, with a trailer grafted onto the driving section of the frame. Wish I'd saved a pic of it. It really wouldn't take much more than a 10k-rated double axle trailer and a GM front drive chassis...

OK guys, I'm looking for a little information here. As you know I'm running a mid-mounted transmission. I have a 4L60 and am looking for the measurements listed below, also if anyone has a fish scale handy I would like to know how much force it takes at it's hardest gear position.
What I'm doing is replacing the stock cable system with a linear actuator which will be controlled by a push/pull switch on the dash. You can also see an idea I'm considering for the bed.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

If I do go the small car hauler route I will need some kind of extra support for the weight for sure. I would also need to do some frame reinforcements.
