Re: Makin' it happen
Fort some reason the chassis pics say file too large so those will have to wait...but they are reunited. Engine trans going in...maybe tomorrow!

Re: Makin' it happen
Some of the chassis photos. Can't get the rest, and I have little patience for computer nonsense!

Did you have the old springs retensioned?

Re: Makin' it happen
Here's a tip!
When mating the TH425 and the block back together, MAKE SURE that the torque convertor is ALL THE WAY IN. It seemed to be in, but it wasn't!
I was getting interference on the trans case and then saw the small relief cut that GM put on the case. Another 3/8 inch or so deeper went the convertor and now all is well!

The interference was from the flywheel just to be clear...

Re: Makin' it happen
Looks great! Still a long road yet, from one that has been there. I noticed your torsion bars are painted the correct color (maybe you just cleaned them carefully). Did you know the rear springs were actually the same color when new? I checked mine very carefully when they were apart and sure enough, same color. Probably same manufacturer.
