Motor with T56 back in the car.
I installed clutch and bellhousing on motor. Had car on 18” blocks on the tires. Went over front with the motor and mated trans from below with a trans jack. Went smoothly. Tilton 6000 TO bearing assembly on the trans.
Speedtech trans mount. Very well designed part. Very adjustable and located the trans perfectly. Currently sitting at 2.5deg negative with no spacers. Nose is still 1.5” high at least. So will come down a bit from that.
Only snag is I have to move the driveshaft safety loop back 6”.
Interferes with the big sonnex yoke.

Driveshaft loop removed. Was welded on. That was fun.
I’ll bolt it on next time.1971 Camaro - 406 / T56

Got a new driveshaft built and installed. Wired the trans and wrapped up some other misc wiring changes in the interior.
Oh my how I love doing underdash wiring.
Also made a few adjustments to pedal height on clutch and brake now that systems are bled and I have a better picture of travel.
Time to get the exhaust back on and fluids in the trans and fire this baby back up.
I found I had mislabeled the 3 wire HEI wiring from the MSD. Connected as per msd diagram. Unless the module is customized or something. Can’t imagine it is.
I also removed a bunch of wiring for the drag racing stuff nitrous and line lock that I don’t need.
So hoping none of that was serving other purposes I wasn’t aware of.
Working on hot rods built by someone else is always an adventure!
