My buddy picked up the container from Oz last week. I have been waiting for quite a while to get the overdrive transmission. The transmission mount on the overdrive is 4 inches farther towards the rear of the car than the three speed, which I had mocked up.
I couldn't finish my rear suspension until I had the driveline mounted, and I could get the pinion angle set, so ended up doing a lot of small piddly things that didn't show much progress. I was also very curious about getting the container, as I had a set of headers coming as well. I wanted to know how much I would have to cut up the car or the headers to get them to work. They fit perfectly! And my transmission mount that I had so laboriously created will still fit 4" back. (even though I pulled a bonehead, and forgot to account for the 1 1/4" that the transmission mount will compress...got lucky on that one) I just needed to make new attachment plates/boxes. Still working on those...
here is the header, opposite the new intake manifold. :-)
Here is the new overdrive trans, and cross member, and the start of the frame mounting plates/boxes.
