made a bit of progress today. finally got around to pulling the T56 off and found out it already has a decent clutch on it. still has a good bit of life in it, but i want to use my light flywheel and SPEC clutch i picked up so out it comes.


got the subframe hacked up nicely today, cut the stock mounting humps off and welded certain areas to keep them solid. i'll eventually plate over the parts i cut off but i want to get the motor over the subframe to see where the mounts line up and such. notched it between the rack mounts as well to clear the front portion of the oil pan.... need to see how much more i can notch out to let the motor sit down. my method for checking basic clearances was to bolt the oilpan to the bellhousing and start beating the shit out of the trans tunnel.





as you can see there was a little work with a hammer, and i'm sure more to come.
