Re: 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon aka Martha

No pictures but I did a test fit of the transmission. It went in easy, but it went south pretty quick. Bellhousing hits the floorpan before the rear of the transmission was in place. Then I figured out that the trans crossmember was now to far forward and my cool a$$ aluminum driveshaft is to long too. Geezus, modifying a custom car crap always has issues.

I modified the floorpan (read BFH) and I built offset brackets to move the transmission crossmember back 1”. I’ll have to take the driveshaft to a pro to have it shortened and rebalanced.
