I wondered where the Batmobile interior went! Thats pretty awful. Crikey, I need to stop messing around with the A-body stuff and get back into the B body project! Ted aka skunk
I dropped the engine in last night. Next is fitting the trannie up behind it and cutting the big hole for the tremec. Here is the mess I made! Next to drill new holes for the trannie crossmember. Wildcats have 2 positions drilled from the factory-1 set for the ST400 another set are pre-drilled for the 4-speed! :TU:
Another little project: Tom's Roller Rockers. Teaser for the day: Can you say X-Code? Compare and contrast: To Extrude honed stocker...

Seems to be getting better all the time! Don
Thanks Don! When I took these pics I realized how many friggin' projects I have going- I need to take pics more often just to keep them all in mind. Ted
Ted.....i've been busy too:3gears: At my buddy Dale's shop to use the lift.....monsoon season..... The starting point...the pivot bracket gets moved over one set of holes to the drivers side and two new holes drilled. Removal of the tailshaft and crossmember. OD spacer mounted. Gear Vendos OD mounted and areas where more room needed identified by drilling 1/8" hole thru floor at four corner points of floorboard section to be removed. Starting point inside with the shifter mount bracket still attached to the floor. Another friend(Bill Pavey) lending a hand removing the shift rod boot and cutting slots so i can get the saw blade in to make the cuts. Yours truly cutting the floor section out....notice my friend Bill sitting in the back seat supervising :laugh: The PRIZE.....and it can be easily welded back in p Now we have some room. A couple shots of the crossmember installed and everything in position......it fits PERFECT Dale pointing out the crazy guy with the camera A couple shots of the topside.....just need to make my new "hump"....make a bend or two in the down rod from the shifter and trim a little from the bottom of the front of the console and VIOLA! ....i'm over-driven p p p p p p Now for a one piece driveshaft....... Ted, i can just FEEL those side-by-side 150mph WILDCAT Blasts down the highway now......Flint Michigan....here we come :3gears: More update soon..... Peace WildBill
Well.....i can't get ahold of Ted so he must be in New Zeeland gett'in some nookie o No: :laugh: The Star Wars air cleaner plan had to be scrapped because the B4B sits the carb too high on the motor.Looks like i will be running a 66 Q-jet cleaner as initally planned. Anyone have one that has had holes drilled in the botton for more air flow?......old 60's-70's trick for stock look-better breathing.I can't bring myself to doing it to one of mine..... Alot of people are gonna see these this summer p .......more up dates soon............ Peace WildBill
Topcat, I have the black one but I don't want to give it up for my eventual '66 WC, q-jet, but if you need it you can have it back, for :beer
