I guess I’ll find out. It’s a little over half cut away as of this minute.Question is.....if you raise the tunnel will you have to remake your center console ???
I haven’t used anything other than a stock 94-95 sn95 spindle. I’m already committed, I’m cutting the tunnel. It serves two purposes, I’ll be able to make it fit, and at the same time get to it in the future if I ever need to remove it.I scanned through the first 20 or so pages and didn't see if you used them, but what if you were to drop the K member combined with drop spindles? The caveat here would be more money down the rabbit hole and maybe ground clearance unless you were able to come up with some sort of compromise on overall ride height.

I know where there's an 83 Regal that you pull the transmission from inside the car. Makes it much nicer to do in the rain! A powerglide practically jumps out. Turbo 400, no so much....his fat ass brother 4L80E, needs a sun roof to drop the crane thru.
It’s the LS bolt pattern. For whatever reason, i’m hesitant to cut that should I ever decide to change out to a different trans. I should just say WTH, and cut it because the likelihood that this trans will ever be anywhere else EXCEPT behind this engine are about 90:1Looks like you can cut the 12 o'clock lug right off.

Anybody that wants to swap that trans into their non-computerized Camaro I guess.You already drilled out internal passages. Who’s gonna want it?
I’m not welding that cut out portion back in. Im going to add some type of 1/8” flat bar “skelton”, that i’ll put sections of 18ga plate back to that i’ll weld over. i’m leaving a removable access section to get to the trans bolts.Strength is in the trans tunnel. You'll get it back, as a combination of stich and fillet will do that, and get the space you so clearly need.
A sanity check. Are you personally sure Sure you don't wanna move the engine forward like an LS, Mr CMA?.
The whole center of gravity is well back on your 2JZ, and you've got another 3 inches up front to shift it forhead (Forr'd. Rolled R and straight to the D ).
Anyway. Looks great. Your seat though....
I've been working on my four wheel drive RAV4 project, putting a Ford V8 in it. I'm doing the same thing with my BTR T5 trans. jeremythedestroyer made me see sense!.
Getting butt hurt by a great guy like you putting a Toyota engine in a Ford just isn't a problem when your putting a dancing knitting needle Ford engine in a Toyota! Were now both on the same team Mike! Opposite ends, but the same team!
Get into it hombre!
I had a plasma cutter. After I finished the build on the Monster ( the first time) I sold it, and the tubing bender that I used to make the dash and door bars. Even if I had it still, I couldn't/wouldn't use it. The cut wouldve been even more wonky than it is now, and probably way more ragged. Mostly because inside a car the freakin thing is a fire hazard.See, everyone thought I was just promoting hooliganism with the "buy a plasma cutter" comments. Actually, I was, but I can't help but say it might actually have helped in transitioning sound deadening into smoke.
I think everything will be the same fitment up to the bellhousing. I’m gonna cut the piece that I cut out along the line where the trans bell starts to flare, and put that rear section in. That piece has the two studs that the front of the console attaches to, and it’ll be the anchor point for the front half that’ll butt against the firewall. That piece is gonna the pain in the ass to deal with I think.Have you tried pulling the carpet over and rough setting your center console yet? Just curious if you can see if there are mods you can an do to your burgeoning tunnel vice the console.
Good, out of all the unique monsterisms, I've grown to really like the way your console came out.I think everything will be the same fitment up to the bellhousing.
