    I've spent the last couple weeks mostly finish welding the subframe connectors, some stiffening for the K member and finish welding the trans crossmember/tunnel/4speed hump. I'll try and post some pictures by the weekend..

    Well I finished the welding the tunnel back in, fixed an oil leak from the oil pan on the motor and finished the trans crossmember and trans mount. I included a couple of pictures from when I first cut the crossmember out. I didn't realize how many holes there were in the 4 speed hump until I went to put it back together. Much closer to being ready for the motor to go back in the car. Since the GF is out of town this week, looking to get a lot done....

    Haven't decided yet. I'd like to put a stock style shifter in it and make it work with the OD trans.

    If you need a stock style shifter to put in there, I have one that I will donate to the cause.  I can send you the bracketry from floorboard also, but I don't think it will help you much with the 4 speed hump.  The one that came in my "rallye" challenger is the "T" handle slapstick? style for an auto.  Let me know if you're interested, and I'll go and dig it out and get some pics so you can see if if you can do anything with it.  It's doing me absolutely no good.   :cheers:

    Actually that is exactly what I wanted to use. The bracketry isn't that important

    If you still have it, I would be interested

    Thanks!
