Default update on 700r4 install

crossmember is in ,had to do alittle modifying after i made it but its in now all bolted up, trans lines are on,i was able to find a yoke from one of vette suppliers up the road from me for 50.00,i was able to shorten the driveshaft and weld it back up and get that installed.This morning i worked on the shifter bracket that bolts to the tranny i had to modify that alittle bit(thank god for mig welders) to line back up with the new bolt pattern of the 700 compared to the 400,and now that thats done i removed the shifter so i can elongate the shifter so i can get first gear.So in 2 days i got alot accomplished and only had 10 ashtma attacks in between :jester Tommorrow night the short block comes back out and ill finish that up to go back in for the final time.And hopefully ill start porting the tpi plenum and manifold this weekend.

700r4 is one of the best mods I've done to mine so far, I think you'll be very pleased when you finally get to drive it.
