I have My own, But it would still be fun to take his for a spin. LOL

[WMCCjames]

Alright James Very nice. i am getting excited to see that thing (or do it myself). Do you know where another one is cheap.

So did you move it at all. To check the trans out?
What driveshaft did you use. Stock one work out ok.
Also what modifications did you do to get the T56 in the 3GC

Okay Dan...here ya go

Moved the car 3 feet yesterday....trans went into first and reverse...I then stopped becuase I realized I need to re-bleed my brakes.....way soft pedal

Stock drive shaft works fine when you convert to a T56....only mods needed are cutting the hole in the trans tunnel for the shifter, making a cross-member and finding a way to get the VSS signal to the speedo. Oh, and a set of 4th gen pedals bolts in fine without too much fuss...just enlarge the 4 bolt holes slightly.

Gary...yep you can drive it!

Do you have any pics of the cutting the hole in the tunnel.
Making a cross member. That could take a few days. Got any pics?
Yea what did you do for the VSS signal when the speedo is cable driven?

I don't have any pics of the hole or the crossmember....I originally swapped in a T56 about 3 years ago, unfortunately all those pics are on my old computer which is long gone now. It's really not rocket science though if you have some 1/4 inch flat stock and a welder handy......you can even buy a conversion cross-member now from Spohn. As for the shifter hole...I just bolted up the trans to the motor and jacked the rear of the trans up until it hit the tunnel, maked it with a sharpie and cut it out with a high speed cut-off wheel.

As for the VSS...I am using a Abbott Cable X-box. It takes the VSS signal and spins a stepper motor which you hook your speedo cable up to. Works pretty slick for us old school speedo guys.

so james can i drive it too >?

Yea i noticed they do sell the cross member for $115 not bad they also sell the motor mounts. very nice.

as for the abbot cable box very nice i will have to look for one of those.

Thanks A lot James
