I have not driven any yet. The good news is the entire driveline is in and no major leaks have appeared.
Next on the agenda is the electrical work for the fan and 140 amp alternator. I do have 2 more car sets of
the strut brackets I just need to machine the struts. If the electrical stuff goes smoothly we will know very soon.
Glad to hear you will be running again soon.
Dave

They do make one for the 700R4 and 4L60E which is a direct bolt in.
I have a G Force cross member sitting on the shelf waiting to go into my 73 with a TKO-600RR.
