I like your Cutlass smooth. Looks very clean.

back from the dead, and the wrong season for much progress.. but I got some stuff done. Pulled the th200 out, getting stuff ready for my t-56 swap. need a mount and some bolts to get anywhere. but this is what I spent some of my friday doing.



and scored 4 of these on friday for 100. 15x7. one of em is rusty on the lip, so it will be the spare as I had one of these already laying around.

Cool, I am going to order my T-56 stuff this weekend for the bird.

only got this far.. had too many hickups causing me to drive back into town more than once.. that and the bellhousing kit that I ordered from mcleod didn't have the correct bolts in it.. wasn't very happy about that one.

got some stuff done today, ripped the clutch and stuff back out to use a differen't set of grd8 bolts on the flywheel. then proceeded to put it back together. then got the trans ready to go.

then proceeded to fail at jacking it up, and spilling a 1/2 - 1 full quart of discontinued trans fluid on myself, and will probably have to spend another 30-40 bucks to replace all of it.. stupid discontinued things..
this was the second attempt.

then had to massage the crossmember about 1/8"-1/4" to get the mount to bolt to it.. was sort of a pita, but its in there. and also scratched the crap out of it, after I painted it nicely a couple weeks ago.

Pretty interesting project. I wondered what you'd use to hold the hydraulic lines to the slave /throwout bearing assy.

The crossmember is definitely HD.

[smooth_358]

crossmember is very similar to the g-force crossmember. I just had someone I know build it for me instead of buying one. probably weighs like 35-40 lbs.
