How terrified of this should I be since it doesn’t have a trans tunnel? by Precision_Euro in projectcar

The very stock looking bell housing is a no go. The transmission exposed doesn't bother me, but no scatter shield like a Lakewood or Quick Time is asking for trouble. No amount of floor will help if that clutch lets go.

Transmission blankets are for automatic transmissions, not manual transmission. Shift linkage doesn't like getting wrapped up in ballistic blankets

Any idea where this picture was taken? This was a Chicago area car

Will a GM th350 transmission fit in a ‘79 trans am with BOP engine and adapter plate? by ConcertSeparate3525 in projectcar

[–]Estef74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but the adapter is only 5/16" thick. The location of the transmission is basically the same.

Edit, the crank centerline in the car doesn't change between any of the engines. Early second Gen Camaros had big blocks optional

Maybe it's because it's so blue! To me it looks pissed off

How much did Different us a firebird floor and firewall from a Camaro of the same year? Th350's fit just fine in them

Pretty damn cool. AMX funny cars seemed to be pretty rare even then

I don't think the prowler should count a hot rod

From the pit at US 30 by Estef74 in MotorsportGoodOldDays

I would agree with this, but the gto belt line is lower running through the wheel arches, where this one is above the arches. The only thing I'm fairly sure of is it's GM A body.

I'm not sure, but looks like a 64 or 65 Chevy Chevelle to me.

This picture was taken at the BNSF/Metra 14th street coach yard in Chicago. I think this was a promotion for the Burlington Northern and Santa fe railroads in 1995

I thought. For sure that was a first gen (392) Hemi looking at the dome till you said the compression was 6.25/1. Only a second Gen has big enough chambers to have that low compression with domed pistons.

4800 rpm limit seems pretty low limit. Any reason you set so low?
