got the old built 4l60 out and had a Extreme Automatics Th400 built. should be picking it up monday.

Manual Reverse Shift Pattern
Griner G-10 Pro Transbrake
Media Blast Case Prep for Racing
Hytuff Input Shaft
CNC Forward Drum for Exclusive Shaft Retaining System
Intermediate Snap Ring Case Support
Clutch Hub Rollerised
2.48 Rollerised Gear Set
Rear Case Torrington Thrust Bearing
Torsional Mains Shaft
Harden Stator Support
H.D. 34 Element Sprag
Tube Shaft Modification (Keeps Direct Drum Parallel Extends HP Capacity of Sprag)
Low Drag Option

opted for the Safe Neutral option also.





denny's nitrous ready CM driveshaft



Precision Industries spragless 9.5'' converter



ordering my B&M pro ratchet stealth on monday



got the carpet all back in and most the plastic besides the console. along with my corbeaus





Also used a generic pinto manual rack and made my own mounts on the k-member as well as custom machined te rod sleeves, 5/8 rod ends and custom aluminum spacers for a home made bumpsteer kit. waiting to final weld everything till my racecraft steering shaft kit gets here.





should work out better than the stock power rack looped and a less than optimal steering shaft setup



All thats left on the car is to wire the fans, Install the new Th400, bleed the brakes, and install the single plane. basically a weekend of work

im running the sjm manufacturing kit with wilwood proportioning valve. the valve adjusts front to rear braking bias. if your running big meaty slicks and little skinnies up front you can adjust some of the braking toward the rear to the tires that are gonna grip to keep the front from clamping so hard and potentially skidding

the pics above were from last nights dry fit. I got the single plane completely on and sealed up for good distributor in, valve cover back on all the lines and sensors plugged back in and started changing the cold side a little today to fit the new setup

got my tunnel mount adjustable torque arm on.





big thanks to OldBlu and his buddy for a killer deal on a brand new never even bolted up TA

Got my shifter installed finnally along with the linkage and cable all set up properly. This was probably the biggest pain in my *** on the whole car due to shitty instructions from B&M and a shifter thats made to fit like 10 different transmissions with pulling a pin here, adding a pin there, this bracket for this, spacers for this no spacers if its this. Finnaly got it all figured out with enough trial and error.



got the piping all changed up to fit the new setup, fuel rails and lines all bolted up. just need to mount the map sensor somehwere now and run a vaccuum line to it as there is no longer a provision in the manifold itself.






whats left: relocate coil and extend wires, install oil pressure sensor, and start t00ning!

haha I know but ive got a going away party to go to so im about done working on it for today.

It already runs how it is. has a startup and idle tune on it. I just want to move my coil away from the FAST just to be safe. and add a oil pressure sensor nto my digital dash as it reads info from the FAST and the FAST doesnt monitor that.

I think he covered that area up with sheet metal. He must have done something with the suspension
