Vacation is over it was a blast what a way to travel wife 4 kids and a old burb! Went to bandameir on sunday ran my to time trial passes then had to leave to go to the ccr concert in loveland. Ran a 13.501 at a 103.41 on the first pass and a 13.506 at 102.70 on the second pass what fun. as far as the info on the swap goes here is some of it. I ran a lokar steering colum mount cable shift to the 6spd allison which had to be modified on both ends but works slick. Motor mounts i started form scratch. the engine is a 2006 lbz with the 6spd allison. I went with classic industries gauge panel so it still looks old but has all electric sending units. The intercooler i had custom made by spearco and the harness ppe helped me out with that. All in all it went pretty smooth if you would like to talk to me pm your number and I will give you a call. Glad you all like it I just keep lookin for reasons to drive it.
