Thanks for the pics Laszlo! You certainly have a tight fit, mine looks absolutely spacious in comparison! I looked up the borgeson universals you recommended. My eyeballs about popped out at the price. I wanted to be sure before picking them up though, is the C4 rack 17mm DD? I'm assuming its metric, but a search really didnt seem to turn up much.
Being you and Rick have the flaming river columns, I think I might have to go that route too. I'm been torn with the 2 companies (Ididit and flaming river), The flaming river being stainless is a nice feature. I am going to try and see what I can do about getting the column in closer to the dash. I've seen some photos of it being done (maybe it was Wade's) and I'd like to attempt it too.
This weekend I did accomplish most of what I wanted to do and then some.
I did get the passenger side suspension hooked up, along with the coilovers and it went without a hitch. I did get the rack in place as well and can see where Laszlo was talking about notching the engine mount, doesn't look too bad at all. The sway bar is just set in position, I didn't actually get to bolting it to the frame yet.
My Dad and I took apart the core 4L80 on Saturday and had the case and tailshaft housing cleaned/tanked today at the local Transmission shop. So I hope this memorial weekend I will get that bolted up to the foam block and the cross member. Slowly its starting to look like a car!
I had the valve covers in the earlier photos powder coated. I'm very happy with how they turned out.
