Default TH400 install in my C5

hey guys, just wanted to share a few pics of my th400 install in a C5. Tore it down a week or so ago and have been thrashing on it. I should finish it up this coming weekend. The remaining items are re-hang exhaust, weld sheet metal back on the tunnel and reinstall my turbo oiling system. The specs are in my sig below. Although this is my daily driver, i'm going drag racing!!! Shooting for 8.90's.... Needless to say my next project is some cage.
Couple of pan shots.... excuse the paint on the pan, kinda slid it around too much before install.


Can't see all of the cut-out but it goes down the side of the tunnel a bit. More than i thought i was going to have to cut but should be very easy to weld up.

Little shot of the rear and the bad *** Driveshaft Shop axles

It is a Yank conversion that i picked up used. It seems to be well done. I priced the RPM conversion a few weeks ago and they wanted "close to the 4l80 conversion" which is $16k!! Way too much for me.....

I would LOVE to do this. I went through a couple MN12 transmissions in my C5Z.. Got tired of fixing those so I sold them and got all new TR6060 setup with a C6Z diff and all suspension. With that said... I'll trade ya drivetrain!! Lol
