One of the tabs that hold the front pump in broke off. Ive got another case for just need to get it switched over. At this point Im not sure If I will get around to using it anytime soon. Ive got a Vigilante 2800 for it. Buddy of mine was gonna use it but he put his project on hold for now.

I'm not trying to hate but you're not using rubber hose for trans lines are you? I just noticed the hose barbs on the cooler lines. Definately either use steel or -6AN line. It really sucks when one of those hoses bursts.

If you're having issues with your crossmember, get a factory 5spd truck crossmember and put a 1" spacer on top of it. That's it!

So the truck runs now. So far ive put nearly 1000 miles on it. Unfortunatly i ran into a problem with the 3,200 stall torque converter i bought so i swaped it for another one thats less. It was making a rattle and idling pretty bad. Also on monday it was raining here so i think water got into the shift indicator box and its showing its in 2nd gear when its actually set to park so the truck wont start.

Oh and the TH400 I bought has a short tail so i had to get a new longer driveshaft made...
