I use the ECE mount and just drilled a new hole for the stud worked great and will be plenty strong.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Energy suspension's aftermarket poly transmission mount has options to do either the one hole or two (3 tapped holes in the bottom of it).

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

also a turbo 350,400, or 700r4 trans mount will bolt to the 4l60e trans, and it can be mounted to the crossmember useing the 2 holes... or drilling the crossmember for the single stud mount, is the other option...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks Rob and Don for all the pics, I'm installing the same engine configuration but I was unsure as to how all the accessories looked and the belt routing. somebody took all mine off and I had to buy all new brackets, alternator, power steering pump and idler pulley. Mine is a 6.0 and they are the same architecture. Mine is going in next week.
Great build!! and I'll be watching to see this baby get rolling!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

here is a pic I took about a week and a half ago at the body shop. Still waitin on fuel tank.....:smoke:

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

looks blurry





j/k...looks nice and shiny...I'm looking forward to seeing paint on mine...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

That color is going to look sharp. In think paint time is probably the nicest part of any build.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

LOl yea i took it from my cell phone. I got the good camera all ready.... they are suppose to cut and buff it first of the week then assemble it...... If my fuel tank comes! :smoke:

Re: Project Cod Fish

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks Me too! I still have alot to do but it is getting closer!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Looking good Rob. Keep up the good work.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Looking AWESOME!!! I'm sure you're super excited....I would have a hard time sleeping too...
Did you paint under the bed and cab or undercoat?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks! Decided to paint satin black.... no need for undercoat as I dont think she will be in the rain much..... Unless I get caught out while driving her

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

When you get a chance, can you show me how you cut it off under the bed and under the cab? Especially under the cab as I'm not sure how to handle the supports that run from under to on the firewall....The firewall on mine is totally smoothed and will be painted body color....will start the black undercoat at the lower firewall/floor seam, but those supports go down further under...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

looks awesome Rob.....

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

My fire wall was lizard skinned then painted over that.... I left the texture as I wanted a cool, quite ride...... as for the bed the tubs, and sides are body color the floor is black underneath

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Maybe I missed it, but what color blue is that? Looks real good, I can't wait until I am at that point.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks it is Le mans blue

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

That's the color that my dad is painting his 67 GTO right now! That's a beautiful color.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I agree! It is beautiful!;)

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Woo Hoo! the paint looks AWESOME! can't wait to see it together. It's going to be bad to the bone!:metal:

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Well I have to say I am impressed with the body shop....... They mainly do collision work but love to do restorations..... It is a small family shop they have been great really communicated and have their ducks in a row! They had the body for only 8 weeks!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Looks good! What are those mirrors off of?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

The mirrors are from little joes in north carolina they are the same mirror that the the silver bullet build has minus turn signals!

Re: Project Cod Fish
