Default 80e conversion pictures

just a few pictures from this week....happened to be under the truck with a camera so snapped a few shots. instead of modifying the stock tranny crossmember, i used a stock one off an HD and used some spacers to make it work.

the DJM HD transmission Crossmember may be an option for you if that one hangs too low, but I've wondered if that would work... I've got a stocker from my 1500HD leftover.

that DJM should work fine with a spacer for the trans mount. belltech had one for a while...but no longer available.

i got the complete trans for $700 i think...out of a wrecked work truck with 30k mi on it. came with converter. sent outall internals for cryo and then put in all the goodies i could get from mr art carr.

thanks for the compliments....its good not having any leaks under there...
