Dropped it off with promotion this morning, only option at this point was to go with a good used main shaft.

also doing a divorced bellhousing , pricey but will be worth it when i need to pull the tranny.....shouldnt have to worry about removing the turbo piping anymore.

Got it back , I'm waiting on them to send me some spacers that go between the bell housing and the transmission before I can install the transmission. Got all my turbo piping and start back in, no longer have to drop all that crap to drop the transmission.

3 spacers came in, (2) 1/4" for the bell housing and also a spacer for the slave/TOB. Made some longer Dow pins out of a old bolt.

Bolted it all in! The rear trans mount lined up perfect , didn't have to do anything. Shifts good, feels like it's all back to normal. Only rear PITA was getting to the top bolts on the transmission, turbo piping is just in the way on my set up a lot. My fat hands don't help either.


Feels great to be back on the road! Need to get on the dyno soon!

Sweet baby Jesus...

Went looking for this thread as I'm mulling over a '13 GT500 front end conversion. I was NOT disappointed.

Yup, one of my favorite cars on the forums. Wish I didn't suck at bodywork. Apparently I suck at wiring too so there's that

Thanx, always means a lot getting compliments on here as opposed to other Places!

Got some good news yesterday about possible feature in a magazine!

Dude that's badass! Hope you get it!

The radiator support seems like an easy operstion. How hard are the fenders to cut and put back together?

The fenders are the trickiest part, I wish I had the motivation to make another set and produce them....it's sad because they are so close to bolting right up, but almost every line is off just enough to need work.

Hahaha ouch.

Ordered my radiator support last night. Hopefully it isn't on like a two week backorder like a lot of these OEM parts places run. I need to call them and check today. If so I'm just gonna spend the extra $40 and get it on Amazon.
