Delightful!!
So, I've been asked by my better half to not share too many photos until we finish un-fucking a bunch of the bodged stuff we made in the engine bay to get it to a test drive. Since it's pretty horrific lol. But I can at least give you this:
Here's the engine and trans packaged before we dropped it in, showing the bizzare "longitudinal front wheel drive" that GM built. Its a big chain drive between the engine and a traditional trans that sits along side it.
Boooo! Show us the carnage!
That's wild! And I love it.
I look forward to more as you continue the build.
Thank you!
