‘53 3100, s-10, ls, tr6060

Decided to stick with the new cab spacing. I pulled out my mockup LS parts(Bare LS block and empty heads), bolted up the Camaro TR6060 and stabbed it in.

Cut about 4” up the toe board to clear the tranny. At this time, the motor and tranny were placed in the frame the lowest I could put them. I tacked in some mounts to hold the setup in place and checked everything out. Looks like the tranny output is too close to the floor where it is.

I refuse to cut the rear section of the floor so I pulled everything apart and raised the body mounts 1/2”. Which puts them at 4.5” total for the front mount. Then I threw the body back on and checked to make sure everything was good. Now I have just barely enough clearance for the back of the trans for it to not hit the floor. Pulled it all back a part and welded the mounts in for good.

Going to order some stuff for the mounts today. Probably have those ready by next Monday.

Squared off the front rails, boxed them off and added a crossmember. Painted all the new brackets and threw the cab back on. Cut the transmission cover for the tranny as well.
