LT1/T56 Into a 1957 Chevrolet Pick Up

**JOATMON** · 04-27-2020, 09:28 AM

I've been having this project sidelined for a while but recently decided to do more during the stay at home order due to the virus.
I've worked on a driveline upgrade in spurts for well over 10 yrs. I suppose I'll finish it sooner or later.
Thought ya'll might enjoy seeing and reading the details.

Anybody know what makes my pics come out sideways?

I'm gonna go back to the beginning and try to give photo descriptions.

Had to notch out the original transmission crossmember to fit that big t56 bell housing in. I welded a contured plate in to fit. I built some side mounts biscuit style, they use shock mounting bushings. Then a built a transmission crossmember that uses a stock T56 Camaro mount.
