everything has to go behind the seats or under the floors.... so there will be panels - but what they will look like? only god knows.

I suppose we should talk about this
engine fits awesome in the Art Morrison frame
however.
I'm not sure how we ended up with a 6L80e - I know I spec'd a 4L80e, but somehow we got the 6 speed.
and that brings up an issue
it's taller
top is in the same spot as the 4
I'm not a fan of hanging the pan that low. Initially, Anthony wants basic stock height - so it won't be a huge deal but he's a kid.... lower/faster will be his mantra and "can I buy transmission oil pans in bulk"
At this moment, we're talking to Art Morrison but so far I don't know. But with that said, I know people watch this stuff and this is one of those things that's good to know.... so now you know.
I suspect we'll move the motor up but maybe those fancy frame shops have a magic potion which can shrink the trans....

for a transmission?
time to install the tank
a couple braces and just needs some holes
and installed and restacked together
in addition to the tank install, we stripped the frame in anticipation of paint. Anthony and his mom spent a couple hours degreasing, cleaning, then scotch-briting
next up, powder coated parts. Also waiting on a conclusion to the cross member issue....

a six speed would be awesome if it fits, i think thats the sweet spot with gears for a powerful engine
