I have a soft spot for a straight 6, but have thought this many a time.

I never knew that the 5-speed had a trans dipstick. I thought that it was only the 4 speed 100's.
Good call. I wish I did something on my 80. It definitely gets hot and I have it well insulated inside. Tuffy console gets pretty toasty.Soo another thing learned from Camo is that these drivetrains get hot... the housings can put out some heat...
Even looking at the 100, you can see where they added heat shielding in the tunnel area.. thats definitely not there on the 80s/60s

Soo I got some Design Engineering heat and sound adhesive shielding.. it has an aluminum sheet with insulation and sticky backing...
Definitely some awkward stuff to fit.. its not pretty but covers the part... hopefully keeps from melting the floor..
Here's me laying on the floor looking up wondering if it's gonna work..

Skin burns ask me how I know
It's not the cloth you need to worry about. It's the hair.
@Skitz , do you mind posting info on mounts when you get a chance, either dimensions or anything...?
...to help the rest of us, who are drooling at this swap and planning on how to lie to our wives, to hide the cost of a 2UZ?
