Nice, is that the last piece that you need?

[Kris Guilbeaux]

To finish mounting the motor and trans to the frame yes this is the last part i need to do that. but I still need a lot more to finish the project.

Things like radiator, cooling fans hoses, exhaust, and a few other random parts.

[TxPlates]

Well how about we get this show on the road and see if you can beat the shop that's fixing the Trac??

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Trans is getting adapters installed. Hang tight

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Decided to nix the adapter idea it was so long it would move every thing back way too much. So today m building a t-case for jpx out of two 1356s



This way I can have a speed gear attach to my t-case and run the electric shift 1356

[KF5ZXT]

Does the 1356 bolt to the AOD?

[Kris Guilbeaux]

1356 bolts to aod, aode, and 4r70w

[Kris Guilbeaux]

And the 1356 back together. Ordered a new speed gear. Hoping to have the rebuilt trans motor and transfer case perminately mounted by the weekend of the 5th and 6th

[MrQ]

Sweet!

[Kris Guilbeaux]

So just a quick update I'm waiting on my trans to come back from mike my transmission guy and I'm waiting in my engine parts to return from the powder coating. I found a local guy to do it much cheaper then sending parts off.

[KF5ZXT]

What kind of pricing?

[Kris Guilbeaux]

My pricing was under $250 and that was doing the oil pan, valve covers, acc brackets, and two small parts. This includes prep work.

[KF5ZXT]

I need to get my lower control arms powder coated (and prepped).

[Kris Guilbeaux]

How difficult would it be to remove them and bring them to me on the 19thb

[KF5ZXT]

On the 19th at Tim's place?

Shouldn't bee too difficult.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

If you want them done I will get them done for you

[TxPlates]

As this thread has gone off topic much like all the rest, why do you need your lower control arms powder coated?

[KF5ZXT]

so they don't rust. Spray paint will and has gotten rubbed off too easily from landing on them. plus, BLING.

[TxPlates]

Going orange?

Randall where did you find that .gif of yourself dancing? That's awesome

[KF5ZXT]

Thank you. I thought so as well. It's from an old family video.
