I think the band saw is a great addition to your shop Roger . The trans is a killer upgrade for your car that's fantastic Verry happy for you Roger . Cheers
Going through the same now with my 67,I have to wait as I just had the engine built. I’m going with the stock LS7 clutch,I wanted to do the McLeod but there’s just too many guys who say noise is an issue.I may have to change the clutch more often but I think I’ll be good. Looks like a great setup,this hobby ain’t cheap.
I can't tell for sure, but it looked to me like the upper wheel on the band saw was wobbling like it was out of balance. Hopefully the new tire will fix that. Also, you might want to check out Classic Auto Air. They don't route the lines through the cowl shoulders, but through the plate where the original heater core opening sits. I've been told that the heater line on the Vintage Air can get the right fender really hot where it runs between the inner wheelhouse and the fender.
@@MrFireman164 i know your going to show this at some point but how are you going to make sure that the console fits well after bringing the transmission tunnel up however much you have to? i know it can be done but always wondered how its done.
@@MrFireman164 I have watched some many that go for close ratio, 6 spd, and never use 6th. If this is a "Tremec, better find instructions now and start reading as a magnetic base, dial indicator and lateral runout has to documented before you can ever get warranty. The bearing used on the input shaft is a dual tapered roller bearing. This with the synco's and gear for second required it centered in the bell housing, flywheel (location pins) to place the trans dead note in the middle that most videos leave out. (Cussing, $350 extra tools, adjusting with bell housing pins the are off-set) but you have to get the center within 0.030" which means 0.015" on left & right, top or bottom. It can make your brain but as if you are doing Chinese Calculus. Good luck! It's all I can say as I was helping a friend and spent 3+ hrs on the internet reading and watching what little is published. Just as it starts to make sense, poof, crazy. I would call the company you bought it from and asked about "Trans Centering Procedure". Start with the install instructions and read closely. The pressure plate and disc are on the bench while set up occurs. Order offset pins as needed (Two) and not position as rotated with flat blade screwdriver (I think) the this reading must be mailed back, near perfect alignment must be established, photo and marker used to note position and remove bell housing and with tool, install disc, pressure plate and oil is best pushed into the trans using a push-pull suction gun. I have two SnapOn, marked clean & used for future oils & fluids. Best of luck as manual is nice, rock-crusher standard for decades but me, 4L60 I built to my specs. No drama!
