Yoke on eBay for under 50$ I think. Can't remebr part #. Used powersteering hose to extend lines, also added to of the biggest parts store coolers and ran then in series with the stock radiator. Just double clamp each end.
My ORY is damn near touching the trans pan. Could maybe stick piece of paper between them, but I have not hand one lick of problems. And I drove cross country 3000 miles no issues while towing.
It's runing off a 60e tune with the relay.
In a few months I'll have a 2005 80e with

YES!!! the 60 dipstick and 80 dipstick are the same! i even made my 60e tube work with a little bending and massaging. Rodney, find anyone who has a race car and has a trans layiung around for it and they prolly have the ears chopped off for header clearance, easy to do with a saws-all. pretty much cut it straight down flush with the rest of it

People said they were, but I guess mines is different. With the 80e tube I got from the dealer, My 60e dipstick fits, and gives the right reading= BUT it does NOT lock down, it a hair to small on the diameter of it.
So please be cautious there. But Im still runing it, even though its locked, i still am able to pull it straight out without unlocking it.
