[QUOTE="tj40ounce, post: 886140, member: 16007"] Got some more parts from UPS so I put the bodywork/sheetmetal work on hold to work on getting the motor, tranny and cases assembled. I got rid of teh LSPV and ordered up this wilwood copy from speedway motors. Super fast shipping btw and cheap... [img]http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/2482/picture007mk4.jpg[/img] I went back and forth with what to do with my drivetrain since I am running a ford v6. I have two W56 trannies and already purchased my MC07 adapter and donor tcase. I decided to run the W56 behind the ford motor. I hope I don't regret it in the long run. Advance Adapters doesn't sell a Ford small block to toy tranny adapter, only North West Offroad. I couldnt justify spending $700 on an adapter that may end up not working out. I decided to order a scatter shield from Speedway Motors. I got this idea off 4x4wire a while back....

[img]http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/3990/picture010ec9.jpg[/img] We created a fixture to hold bellhousing center with the tranny based off measurements taken off of the block.
