    Well I saw your tranny today, first time I have been to the lockup in a while, man she is a chunky one for sure, looks like with some surgery here and there cut off a little here, clearance a few holes, should be good to shove it right in. 

All kidding aside, it does look like a beast.  I see it gots an open diff is there any kit to convert it into either an LSD or better yet an air locker type of setup.

Well once you get all this overtime taken care of, you will have time and the cash to play with the car again.  However better get that garage sorted out so you can put it in there or its going to be a long winter of no tinkering.

Glad to hear that.  I'd hate to see it go another winter just sitting.  We should find you a spare rear cradle so you can pick up the trans from the locker and start putting a motor together get it bolted to the trans and setting up cradle mounts for the entire thing.  That is unless you are going to try and find a TORONADO Cradle to use?

March 27th is Chris's aka Fire451's Birthday, so lets all wish him a happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Mr. Zander  (Zander is his other nickname)

 

Man did you ever think that by this time in your life, you would be settled down with a wife and 2 kids.  (with me just months behind you on having the 2nd kid)

 

P.S. please excuse the multiple postings as I am going to plaster this in all your Fiero threads.  HeHe.
