Installed the Prothane bushings into the clamshells and tightened them down. I test fitted them onto the Hinson subframe. They both only fit on one fork. The other fork seems to not fit either mount. I might have to file down a little bit of the metal off the prothane bushing so it will slide right in. I'm assuming it's the powder coat that caused the clearance issue. Removing a thin layer of metal from the poly mount should fix that.

Not much progress lately. T56 came in, bought a LS7 clutch and pressure plate, Fidanza C6 aluminum flywheel, GMPP Engine Controller. Other little things to make this all work. Going to paint the engine bay in a few weeks. Stay tuned!

Finally got off my *** and started on this again. Got the trans about 2-3 weeks ago. Cleaned it and painted it with Duplicolor Engine Enamel rated up to 500 degrees then shot it with a few coats of clear rated up to 500 as well. Color is Cast Iron I think... Check it out. My die grinder should be here in a few days so I can cut the firewall lip and the shifter hole. Till then....

Nice work man. I have an 05 GTO with 423 to the wheels and prior to my GTO I have a 94 FD and I'm thinking about selling the GTO to pickup a LSX FD and was wondering if you knew of any in the area selling. I remember LS1240z a long long time ago when torquecentral (or whatever that forum was called) was around and I remember that he used to build them and sell them.

I'm not sure about any local ones for sale but if I were you I'd just keep an eye open for them on http://www.v8rx7forum.com. They come and go. I don't think I've seen any for sale locally recently. I'll keep you in mind bro if I see any.
