Default Officially A3! Pics...

TH400 is bolted up to the LS1 finally! I put a 3000 stall in the mean time.

Unfortunatly tho, I have two problems,

I have the short tailshaft and the TH400 has a bigger yoke. So Im getting a new longer drive shaft made at some place here in Dallas for $275.

Second problem is the tranny mount location needs to be modified a little not too much, i still have to do the measurements tho.

Other than that looks good. Good thing i already did the ratchet shifter in advance

PS note the ear of metal that needs to be ground or cut off thats touching the header...

Total cost of tranny and stall including all misc parts and accessories for the COMPLETE swap to me has been a little less than $1,200.

I think the bottom one goes toward the cooler and the top is the return.
