Major KUDOS just for attempting this !!!!! It's gonna be awesome to drive. I noticed in some earlier pics that your automatic console shifter looked like a Hurst shifter. Pretty cool. Is that a direct bolt-on?

 

[moparstuart]

yes direct bolt in from duncan , called a shifter -r -arm great looking unit and functioned pretty well

sad to lose it but it will get a real pistol grip now

Any interest in selling your old unit? PM me if you do. Thanks and good luck with the Viper conversion.

What was that trans x- member made to fit? What are you doing to re-enforce the torsion bar crossmember. Looks like a lot of trial and error fitting, hopefully others will benefit from your install. Have you already got a driveshaft for it, to line up the tailshaft and rearend? Guess you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette! Good luck with it and keep up those good pics.

Great job on the viper trans install. That's a big job to do. Looks like the "kit" trans crossmember was a fail. How'd you bust up that 727??

 

[moparstuart]

drive shaft is bought , i just need to call them with a measurement once tranny installed , they will then custom make it for me
3 1/2 inch all aluminum

tranny cross member was suppost to be a proto type for this built viper tranny in a b body well it was a fail for sure , it will work fine and be plenty strong but for sure it wasnt a bolt in like it was suppost to be . We will tie back into the upper crossmember frame and use strap to form an upper brace over the top of the tranny , figures the shifter is right in the way so we will have to triangulate forward around the shifter

 

[moparstuart]

day 4 , more work done , upper crossmember support done and sheet metal over tunnel started

 

[moparstuart]

day 5

 

[autodynamics]

Wow

 

[NJRR]

wow

The first thing that comes into my mind looking at this is the old song "The first cut is the DEEPEST!". The second thing is... "You've got nerves of STEEL!". Thanks for this info! Can't wait for the finish!
