The transmission mount looks great. I am curious what it weighs? Doesn't matter but curious. The tunnel looks very OE which is always a favorite concept.
Thanks

Great question! The new aluminum cross member is 5.9 lbs and the parts I cut off or not using from the original cross member combined for 11.6 lbs. Another 5.7 lbs off the toral

I made a shifter cover with a similar shape as an original 4 speed cover using a wood block and a press. This will cover will be removable for shifter access.
Thanks

Pat - I like the shifter set up! With the carpet and the boot only a few people will notice it is moved over a few inches. Very nice. Are you going to put a seal around the edge and make it removable for shifter access?
The tunnel was made on mine to fit the T56 Magnum. Since my car was a console car I decided to make the console work. Moved it a few inches back. Picked a shift handle and the cue ball shifter knob to make it look period correct.

Yes I'm planing on using a foam gasket and screwing the cover on as to make working on the shifter easy! Yours looks great! Originally Posted by 68Cuda440

This is the shifter that came with the T56 and I would like to find an original 1968 T handle shifter that I can modified the T handle to trigger a relay for the reverse lockout on the new trans. If anyone has one or knows where to get one please let me know. I’ll check at Carlisle in a few weeks.
Thanks
