Since we can't have the motor just hanging there, lets take a look at the transmission that I discussed earlier. I wanted an OD transmission so I might have a chance at getting decent gas mileage. I used a 700r4 because it has a low first gear and overdrive. Combined with 3.08 rear gears I'm hoping I can have my cake and eat it too. Or would that be have my horsepower and fuel mileage too.

As I mentioned, my brother-in-law has been building transmissions for 30+ years so he got elected to do the job. It should be smooth as silk under normal acceleration, and have a nice firm shift when pushed hard.

Roger considered modifying the stock crossmember but decided it would look much cleaner if he built one. He used channel in the frames and round tubing as the crossmember. This allowed him to get everything above the frame.

You can see where the high volume fuel pump was mounted on the frame. This picture was taken before the wiring was detailed.
