The only bright side is saving everybody three pages of pics of stuff that didn’t work!

We are all destine to repeat your mistakes if you don’t share the good with the bad, I’m with Scraps on this. One month is too long, give us everything we enjoy it all!

Keep up the good work the trans mount looks great!

Updates?

Getting close to being able to show something that could be perceived as an update.
Been working the last couple days on remaking the crossbar for the transmission mount. It’s not finished yet but I’ll show you where I’m at…

Productive weekend finally.

Got the frame-side portions of transmission mount tacked in place. Here’s a couple pics showing up close the clearances at the close spots, as well as the clearance of the transmission at the front of the hump.

Rolled my baby out into the sunshine for the first time in 10 months. Took a few pics of final clearances between the ps pump and box, as well as the park brake cable mount on the firewall, which will need to go bye-bye.
Overall, the t-case hangs around 3” below the frame, which is pretty close to original, so I’m pretty happy about that

Like a glove!

Concerning the engine angle @scrapdaddy , my angle finder shows 2° with the hind end still up pretty high.

I think mine came out to be 3 or 4 degrees. I don't think the H55 trans. could of come up much higher anyway without modifying the floor. She's coming along, what's next?
