Nice job, your making progress. Keep it up. I want to hear it run!

Your really going to love that 5 spd behind the 292. I put the same setup in my '65 pickup and I just love driving it. Also P/S; power disc brakes, headers, aluminum intake with a quadrajet and HEI. Nice dependable set up

Thanks Tom! I want to hear it run to! lol

Thanks! I hoping this tremec does well. I got the close ratio tranny with the .82 od. Way I build the engine this should be a good match.

Well guys I haven't done much with the 66 lately. Since the engine and tranny are on the frame I now have the body to start working on. That will be starting soon. Lotta work ahead. Here's an update from last year. haha

Looking good buddy keep it up

Thanks! I hope to get back on it soon.

Well I've been stripping the cab. Got the windows out last weekend and then the weather turned for the worst and I haven't been able to make a video. lol Be updating soon guys.

I just watched your video. Everything looks pristine! Also, is the Tremec just mounted off of the bellhousing only or ? I didn't see a rear crossmember mount.

Thanks! Yes, for now the tranny is mounted to just the bell housing. There will be a cross member for sure.

Thank you for the response. I seem to remember since the trucks have the bellhousing crossmember, it is a difficult situation to put in a third crossmember and get the driveline angle right and things not be in a bind. Something like that. Have you heard of anything like that?

Just for my peace of mind, I wouldn't want to install it without a trans crossmember either but I know the factory cast iron ones weren't. I wished I could remember what I heard/read about that.

The third member is fairly simple from what I know, I'm going to make my own and leave the tranny as it sits now. Because the engine doesn't have a TON of torque I probably don't Need one, but if I ever want to light the tires off it's just that much more preventative. lol

Well, theres that and it just seems weird to me to leave a transmission that long hanging off the bell with no support. I could see the transmission ears breaking if the conditions were right.

I have. A 72 had to move my shifter to the center location maybe something to think about

Yeah, that's why I'm putting on in. lol

Looking into the shifter, haven't been worried about it cause I don't have my cab ready to mount. lol

It's just spendy is all and it should fit if you have a high hump mine is lowered so had to face a double decker up for it

Yeah last I check it was like $400+ for the dang thing! Not to mentio you have to get the cover to put in place of the original. They get you where ever they can.

Yeah that's what I was talking about! Shit is rediculous!

lol. Yeah, It is, but it should eventually pay off I hope. haha

I know how you feel my truck is getting close

Hi guys! Got some new parts in for my 292 and for the truck. Moving at snail pace for now, but things will be picking up soon. Later all.
