The first thing that comes into my mind looking at this is the old song "The first cut is the DEEPEST!". The second thing is... "You've got nerves of STEEL!". Thanks for this info! Can't wait for the finish!

Looking good, did you have any problem centering up your blowshield? I didn't bother to check mine on the first install and wore out the front bearing, input shaft, and front retainer in addition to lots of missed power shifts. It is a pain to get right after the motor is in the car. I ended up with the engine back out of the car and installing offset block dowels to center the blowshield. Looks like you will be in overdrive before you know it! Good job getting it knocked out.

we got the super long alignment dows and put them in the back of the motor and everything lined up perfect

New pedal treads < reverse light ,boot and throwout bearing

[moparstuart]

we needed more muscle , so three of us got the tranny pushed back up in there today

new throw out bearing and tranny back in the car and new drive shaft going in here in a few minutes

 

[moparstuart]

drive shaft installed now

 

[moparstuart]

well hopefully third times a charm

third throw out bearing goes in saturday

american power train also made us a spacer to push the throw out further so the bearing will engage the clutch before
reaching the end of it throw and leaking

if i had kept the Automatic in the car , I would for sure had gone with a gear vender , but i wanted a manual tranny and the money would have been alot more to convert to a 4 speed and then also add a gear vender . Right now i am still bearly just under 4k on this conversion and i will have 6 speeds instead of 5 or three speed auto and an overdrive .

3rd throw out bearing going in a space from american power train this time , let hope third times a charm
