Looks great! The only thing I wanted to point out is this:

I'm fairly certain that a removable crossbar isn't NHRA legal. Just a heads up to keep you from being hassled when it comes time to tech.

on motor I hope

69fastback · February 1st, 2012, 08:43 AM

Lol... I don't think it'll drop a second by adding weight, and swapping transmissions. If the converter is good, it may go faster on motor. At over 3500 lbs, I'm still saying 10.40s on the bottle.

69fastback · February 2nd, 2012, 12:07 AM

It doesn't look like much was done tonight, but the whole console got wired, and all the switches were installed. I had to cut the console for the new shifter. The shifter is missing the handle and the shifter cover in the pic.

outlawz916 · February 2nd, 2012, 12:39 AM

It looks like its coming together very nicely, i cant wait to see the interior all done

crazy old cuban · February 2nd, 2012, 01:09 AM

it looks better than mine

69fastback · February 4th, 2012, 08:42 AM

All the wiring is done! Just need to put a battery in and test everything. All that's left is finishing the interior, putting the Powermaster 140 amp alternator on, and wiring it, making and installing the tranny lines to the cooler, and sticking the exhaust on. And now I don't get to work on it for a week! Argh!

69fastback · February 7th, 2012, 08:39 AM

I'm out of town for training, so my buddy decided to finish it up. I can't wait to get home.

TCStang · February 7th, 2012, 08:56 AM

That's a good friend. Looks great.

frdnut · February 7th, 2012, 10:38 AM

Wow I just read this whole thread from the beginning.I had a few of the same issues but I can't believe you had so many issues with the clutch linkage...I am running pretty much the exact same drivetrain in my 68 and it has all worked out great for me..My only issues with the Z bar block adaptor piece was due to it not fitting the scattershield..Just some minor tweaking and everything was good...I am really interested to see how your car reacts to the auto trans..I know mine would be quicker as well but like you said you will lose streetability with the automatic...I don't ever plan on putting a cage in mine either so I guess I will just shoot for low 11s and be happy.

69fastback · February 7th, 2012, 10:40 AM

I think this converter will be tight, and it will be slower on motor. Who knows on the bottle. I will probably send it for a re stall over the winter, unless it's real bad, then I'll do it now.

69fastback · February 9th, 2012, 09:43 PM

Well, I jut got a text that says it flashed at straight up 4K on the transbrake. It may run well, but drivability is up in the air! haha

I wish I were there to drive it, but he said it's raining anyways.

Edgethis · February 9th, 2012, 10:13 PM

Just read through the thread and wanted to say you have an amazing car! I look forward to seeing how the swap works.

More happy here

69fastback · February 12th, 2012, 09:59 AM

Well we've had all this unseasonably warm weather all winter, and I got back home last light, and was planning on going to get the turd tonight. Now it's decided to sleet and snow, and the guy that did my cage lives about 60 miles away, so I'm not going to attempt to trailer it home. It's supposed to be crappy thru tomorrow, and then I have a trip to palm springs tues-thurs, so I may not even get it till Friday now. Just my luck.
