It moves under its own power
Finally 2 months after I started I got to drive the car today with the 5 speed in it..no interior just the one bucket bolted down and big hole in the floor tunnel that has to be covered. According to the anylzer on Keisler site it now accerates like its got a 4.60 rear end and I believe it...it's nuts getting on it as it went sideways when I hit second gear. I think I'm going to like it.
I got a guy at that I'm going to take it to tomorrow that is going to look to see what he can do to fab a new tunnel for me.

Finally, great news Ric. When can I take it out and beat the crap out of it? Seriously, glad you've almost got it wrapped up, been missing you at Baker's.

Ok getting closer, I had a body shop do the tunnel fab since I had it so screwed up it was never goning to look good, I now have the insulation installed and working on the new carpeting and I never knew that was going to be such a hard job as I'm trying to make sure I make no mistakes on that. Also in the process of installing my three point seat belt system which seems to be pretty easy. I have to be in Fort Wayne all week and my Daughter has a horse show on Friday and Saturday so I won't get a chance to finish it till next Sunday.

Ok its done and went out on its official first cruise tonight and everything worked great with the exception of speedometer noise (The threads over on Team Chevelle state I need to pull the cable and grease it).
The dynomat like material I put in made a big difference and well worth the $150 for material. I also put in new carpet and three point seat belts in place which are really nice. Even after all the bull S^&% I had to go thru to put in this 5 speed it is well worth it now when I'm doing 70 and the tach is at 2200...all is good.
