Well I just gave my key to the guys at the tranny shop. Unfortunately I am off work tomorrow so it will be hard for me to take any pictures. I'm thinking maybe I could have Ron snap some pics of the progress for me. :D

Ok here are some pics of the install. Obviously are the parts that have been removed, let me know if anyone needs anything. Also the trans thats in some of the pics is the mock up tranny.

Man I need to have one rebuilt and put in. I know I'll have to shorten my one piece drive shaft and figure out how ill mount my 700. But doing the other stuff to make it function is what boggles me like the linkages and how it affects gear selection at the column

They are using my factory th350 linkage that I got off the forum here so your linkage should not be an issue.
