Re: 72 Jimmy "Colonel Mustard"
To mate the NP205 to the 4L80E, I bought a kit from advance adapters.
** ![]() ** One of the steps is to cut down the tailshaft *** ![]() ** ![]() ** Then I prepped the trans for paint. I used an aerosol from POR. It really laid down well. ** ![]() ** ![]() ** ![]() ** ![]() ** ![]() Last edited by ochre 72; 05-02-2016 at 11:03 AM. |

Re: 72 Jimmy "Colonel Mustard"
Great progress, everything is looking very sharp. You are doing almost the exact same build as me just 100x faster! Curious, was it just easier to find a 2wd donor than a 4x and thats why you went with the c2500? Is all thats involved with converting it cutting the tail shaft just like the older transmissions? Also where did you order the gas pedal adapter plate?

** ![]() ** I will also be enlarging a hole in the transfer case to accept the adapter. I'm taking it to my brother's machine shop today to have that done. The gas pedal adapter came from a member on this forum (Hart rod). He sells them in the vendor section or the LSx parts forum. |

Re: 72 Jimmy "Colonel Mustard"
I have read a lot of different builds but it's amazing that no matter how many you read you always see something different in each one. Great job and I look forward to watching the progress.
