take notice of the transmission bracket ... this is a top loader 4 speed tranny ... Jose's kit bracket wont allow the access to that part of the frame...

I put my pass throughs in last week, similar to the tiger image ..I cut a 2 3/4" hole at an angle then took a 3" pipe and squished it to 2 3/4" then cut and welded... plenty of room over the bracket bolts to the frame...

So that means it is a SROD?

If so, probably a tad on the wide ratio side, but that would be fine for a lot (including me) of guys in a street driven car. In fact, I tend to prefer them. Especially in a car that can get underway in third gear without much fuss.

Allen I will get some up soon...
