th400 installed tonight
well, it was time to drop in the pig, trans fits in great with the drop box, that was a big concern, since we just measured and molded that box the way we wanted to, and hoped to god the trans wouldnt hit it. lol.
ryan had pre wired and relayed everything in the cab before he buttoned it up, so all the wires are down below already and just need to be connected, the shifter linkage is working great, need a nut to hold the arm to the trans, and then do some final adjustment when its running, but thats ready to go now too.
all the measurements are in, ryan is dropping off the driveshaft tomorrow at the drive shaft shop, its really fucking close actually, it might need to be lengthened up a little bit. but holy shit its close.
lots of things to finish up with the motor, plugging shit in, intake, piping, rad, pulleys, all little nit picky shit.
hes going to build a crossmember for the trans tomorrow that clears the exhaust, and fuck around.
here are the pics from tonight, im really surprised with how well everything fit, like a glove, easier to install than the 5spd, and i could not believe how light the flexplate and converter were, the flexplate was like 1lb at most and the converter even filled was like 8lbs.
