New from New Orleans

I'm with a local auto shop that does custom body & paint, and exhaust systems in New Orleans.

I'm looking for technical support for a cross-fired '84 vette. Can anyone shed light on installing a turbo 350 trans in this chassis? Am I safe in assuming it's been done before? Are there any kits available or threads documenting the process?

Thanks in advance for any help, thoughts, or suggestions. -- TMM

Welcome

Thanks for the warm welcome...

We managed to convince the owner to go back with a 700R4 allowing us to retrofit an original trans mount.

The aborted mount was such an ill-conceived piece of hardware; that it severely cracked the case of the turbo 350.

If any members are in the NOLA region; please shout out.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays!! TMM
