Yup. Stock cross member. Little grinding and she went right in! Bolted the converter up sunday. 1/2" bolts on the flange, never seen a Converter with bolt holes that large. Had to open the flex plate holes a bit to go on. Borrowed 8.8 ford rear for the time being so I roll it around until my 9" is built. Nice to have my lift back again, Blazer has been on it for the last 7mo. So getting closer.

Post Out side for the 1st time in over a year!

I rolled the old Girl outside last night! And boy howdy, I have some body work to do! LOL! Amazing how the sunlight can make them dents jump right out at you!!

Ordered my B&M Star Shifter and Lokar lS1 throttle cable today, hopefully be here by Friday!!

I bought the 8.8 from my buddy. $100 for a 4.10 gear limited slip with disc brakes is steal! Just have to Call Wheel Vintiques to order my Rally Wheels!
I like the new smoothie they have and the S/S Police center caps they just released. Clean old school look. Add to sleeper motif I'm looking for!


Installed new intake gaskets & bolted the intake down. ARP is sure proud of the hardware! But no compare to the quality!

Sweet Sammy Girl. German Short hair. 8mo old.

you have done a great job on this swap man, I'm going to try making a template for my guages on my 84 and then do the aluminum like you did.
