Next on the agenda. Is to replace stock gear change with shortened and I SR shifter I have arranged the photos so you can see the dismantle of the existing Shifter and cradle and then reinstalling the new shifter and cradle.

When the engine is reinstalled the reason why the the gear shifter is shortened approximately by 2 inches is because the engine and gearbox  is further back into the car.

This helps push weight into the centre of the car , we'll see about that at the end of the day, I will weigh it to see difference between stock and ls build 20200429_122936.jpg.c29ee74ad39ea7603c6cbfa9f7c9b16a.jpg

Flywheel and clutch installation.

 You have to clean flywheel and pressure plate with alcohol.

Flywheel bolt down to correct torque , align clutch and bolt down pressure plate to correct torque as well .

 I am using exedy clutch as is original fitment for 350 just upgrading to racing clutch to cope with extra torque, that the engine will make.

20200507_131310.jpg.589057b7c7e443f1c0f4be773f74d3da.jpgNow to put the gearbox and the engine together, i had to replace the thrust bearing carier as it was

cracked. Also you have to take a little bit of metal away from the inside of the bell housing arrowed below . This is to allow clearance for the  flywheel and and starter motor.
