Tranny problem determined and some other items installed.

Well after many calls we finally figured out our drive shaft problem. They gave me the wrong one. I removed the rear housing of the transmission to try and determine what our problem was. We found that at the rear of this housing there is a bushing with an inside diameter of 1.5" and we measured the outside diameter of the drive shaft yoke we were trying to install through it and found it to be 1.68' or .18 over, so it obviously wasn't going to fit. So we have to put that aside until we can round up another yoke with the correct size. Here we go again, waiting for parts : (

We installed the headers, which were a fairly tight fit. I found the header on the passenger side was touching the starter and had to remove the starter and adjust it to not hit the header. Very nice feature on the starter to be able to rotate it to miss hitting things.

Spent a lot of time trying to sort out the drive shaft problem. Need to put the tranny back together tomorrow.

      This is the drive shaft yoke that was too large for the transmission.

                   Here you can see where I took the back housing off the
                   tranny to see what our problem was.

                                         Here is the drive shaft.

                          Rear housing off of the back of the transmission. Kind of
                         an odd angle, it's from the top looking down.
