Supported by factory cross member, moved one bolt hole down, towards rear- one old lump of t56. Factory t56 mount lines up to bolt hole, but stud is too large. I do not plan on leaving like this. I will fabricate a completely different option.
Waiting on machine shop for clutch and flywheel. Going to pick up custom made driveshaft today from NW driveshaft. I pulled the exhaust manifold off to upgrade . It is getting the mild steel section replaced with stainless steel, and the collector restriction is getting eliminated where it was normally a t3 flange machined down. The exhaust manifold had a nasty leak at the rear , leaking out the gasket, as well as six other places...
So I need to check the flange for flatness, and sand down. The manifold had six big cracks in it, ALL on the mild steel section, which had been repaired 4 or more times after being braced. No wonder, why so Laggy?! I believe the remedy will be to replace the mild steel with stainless steel, and gusset where possible, so that's what is happening. Still need to go to salvage yard and pick up trailing arm braces, and reinforce them too. Also getting the shifter bent , and a Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy concert this week. Phew.
