got a little more done, still juggling a few projects at once.

the hole!

needs to be refined but it will work for now till I know where the engine/trans will sit exactly.

notice the pedals.. it will all work out in the end. not a huge deal.

yeah... the t56 is really that big! I thought it was small till I put the belhousing on... its just sitting on the floor, the tail will go down for sure, I hope the whole thing ends up going down! well see what the suspension allows..

note the stock shifter location (written in sharpie).

ctsv tail housing on the trans, I have the parts for the GTO conversion. pictured is the GTO tail housing with a short shifter.. it sits too far back. the Fbody shifter is 2"? shorter.. (no kickback). I may have to go that route. and or move everything back in the car. pedals, steering wheel, seat, dash, ebrake. all very doable just not sure what route to take yet. Im going to try and spend half a day on it monday

This thing is wild! That V8 fits in there nicely. Will be the ultimate sleeper.
