How much did you have to modify the transmission tunnel?

Also, what did you do about a speedo?

The tunnel does not have to be modified much for just the tranny. I also put in a B&M tranny shield and that was a different story. I had to widen the tunnel on the passenger side about 1-2". This also meant modifing the center counsel to fit.

Speedo hooked right up.

Use the Hurst crossmember kit with the existing mounts and bracket. The torque arm mount will also need a little modifing to work.

Your speedo hooked right up? 88's must be mechanical.

I've ordered the Hurst stuff and it should be here this week. I'm switching to Art Morrison LCA's so the torque arm won't be an issue.

Thanks for the help.

Side note...
Twin Cities huh? Have you ever gone to the CarCraft thing when they are up there?

Sorry about that, yep, it's mechanical, hooked right up.

Try to hit the car craft show whenever it is in town. The show itself is not the best part, but the cruise at night (and racing) is the best.

Does AM have a web site that shows/talks about the LCA's. They sound alot like the Jegster SS bars. Let me know how they work on the street.

Thanks
Miles

The show IS the cruise at night. I've gone every year since they started up there. Actually got my car in the mag in 1999. We'll have to hook up next year. My car will be dailed in and ready to play by then.
www.artmorrison.com We'll see how they work. I've had good luck other stuf I've bought from them.
