Thread update!

Well I got the trans fixed and back in the car.
I then found I had a bad vibration.
Turns out the driveshaft was slightly bent. After fixing it, I still had a bad vibration.
Turns out the driver's side axle AND axle tube on 8.8 housing were also bent.

1 set of new Moser axles and 1 new 8.8 housing later and the car was back to normal with no vibrations.

I figured it is on borrowed time keeping the T56 in it, so I took it out and sold it last week to a guy on Ebay.

Plans are later this year to install a race-spec'd 4R70W with transbrake and finally take the car to the track and lay down some good numbers.

Anyways, here's some pics last weekend as I removed the ole' T56.

Car and truck look great, keep us updated on the numbers she lays down with the 4r70w!

LOL.

Not much progress in the last 2 months.
Still waiting on my trans/convertor setup. Haven't purchased anything yet.

I actually picked up a 1995 GT that I have been tinkering on that has taken some of my time.
