I got the coan th400 put in today and checked the fitment of the crs shield. It fits really well with a lot of room all around it in the tunnel. But the shield needs trimmed around the cooler lines, one of them will not line up.
The crossmember the guy made me is tucked up high like I wanted it.

I called Patterson's drive shafts, a local shop here in Indy with a very good rep. They are making me a 3.5" steel shaft with 1350 joints, th400 yoke, and a billet 8.8 at the other end. It was a bit more than I expected but worth every penny, I'm sure.

Then I put the headers back on and now there's a problem. The headers were on this car with a T56 not a th400. So the headers are hitting the tranny pan due to how the flanges are welded on. so I cut the welds loose and turned them were I could still get the bolts in and will re weld them there.And the trans brake noid is up against the right side. Also the o2 bungs are very close to the pan. Gotta plug them up and weld one on the out side for my wide band. And the last hurdle is that the right side exhaust pipe hits the cross member pretty good. I need to use some heat and massage it or do some cutting and welding there.
