Build Tips

Tranny

A six speed tranny of the Richmond variety with a Long's machine shifter used in Pro Stock racers will be installed in a 67 Chevelle project with a 500 horse aluminum head motor. We will build a custom tranny tunnel to clear the transmission and linkage and still keep it rounded like the factory so we can use original style molded carpet.

After some preliminary measurements and the Motor and Trans installed in our Chevelle project Doc takes off on the English wheel to wheel out a new trans tunnel cover.

It is starting to come together as we test the shifter and linkage for proper clearance etc.

We installed the original style bench seat to check the shifter throw clearance.
