Need a few things to get ready for the conversion. I pretty well have a trans and converter lined out. As well as a flexplate and yoke.

I need, bottom half of the bell housing. Bolts.

A VSS, preferable with a pigtail. Or jsut a pigtail itself off a trans harness would be helpful.

Dipstick tube.

I plan on making my crossmember, but would buy a used one.....

 

Tired of busting 60's huh. Call our local junkyards or FLT has em too.

 

Might have too. Jesse has the bellhousing and some other pieces, but I htought I would get them on here and let him keep his parts. But if I cant I will give him a call...

 

I went to a local pick-n-pull and found my VSS connector. Just took the sensor out of the trans so I could match it up with the right connector. GM used the syle of connector on many different components. I found mine that was used to plug in the a/c compressor on a s-10. As far as the wires for the connector that you have to run up to the pcm, I got a envelope full of pcm pins with about 2"-3" of wire hanging off of them ready to be spliced. Got them from a member. As far as the bottom cover I had no luck and just ended up goin to a local stealership and got the bottom cover and the 4 extra bolts needed for it. I did my install cheap as possible besides the converter. That burnt a big hole in my pocket, but was well worth it!!!!

 

thanks for the info..



ANy one else

 

which yoke do u have to change and y?

 

make the drivshaft into an end with a turbo 400 yoke, so it will go into the 80e

 

how is the parts gathering going?

 

When i get a spare minute ill ship that Flexplate.. kinda sucks right now, we are leaving on a job tomorrow and spare time is hard to get.


I dont have that bottom part of the bellhousing on mine that your talking about.. might put it on one day when i get around to it tho.

Get you some ARP Torque Converter Bolts, they are awesome.

Im lookin for a dipstick tube also..

 

I got my oem dipstick off flebay for like 50-60 shipped......
