I'd love a partner. I don't have a flashy youtube channel or insta page tho. I enjoy this build thread.

I decided I will not be buying the driveshaft through Beefcake. The price has gone up $200 since they quoted it to me. I am going to wait and consider my options.

Today the SFI rated ATI flexplate and ARP converter hardware came. Good thing is the ARP hardware specs perfectly with the diameter of the holes in the ATI flexplate. This is why you don't buy the cheapest stuff out there that requires re-drilling.

I put my DSS 10r80 Chromoly driveshaft and Stifflers driveshaft loop up for sale locally, pickup only. $700 for the bundle or best offer.

Forgot to mention that I shipped back my JPC crossmember and driveshaft loop. They are sending a replacement since the one I received peeled.

ATI Flexplate Hardware and ATI Crank Sleeve Adapter arrived. I marked it with paint to know how it goes together. The bolt pattern only works one way.

No reshipment by JPC. They said they'd ship it yesterday and still haven't even after today. I'm not in a rush, but I do give a shit about a person's or company's character and keeping your word

Side note: 10r80 driveshaft and stifflers loop are both sold.

Out with the old (for sale) :

In with the ATI hotness. The 6r80 engine plate fits perfectly:

Queueing it up:

Installed:

I didn't loc-tite or torque down yet, waiting to test fit starter motor.

 

[turnswrench]

Test mounted the JPC shifter bracket in order to decide how to cut the body to make the shifter work. Made my cuts, filed the sheet metal, and painted the cut to prevent rust. I'm running out of things to do without an actual transmission....

Before

Test mount

Mark my cuts

Cut made

Test fit again

Filed the cuts and slapped on some paint

Ready for the shifter! Will need to make one more cut for the shifter cable once I have it mocked up.
