4.3 Supercharged Chevy

There she is no chains no straps. Perfectly level side to side, and the trans sits at the OEM height (just back an inch and a half).

Gonna get my hockey pucks soon enough and I can fab up the trans mounts.

Then the fun can begin.. Exhaust fab, coolant lines, ac and power steering.

Will your shifter cables reach the transmission? I think the 6 speed cables are longer but don't quote me on that

I've been wanting to check that, but I've been pre-occupied with making the trans "cradle". In one hand they route over the idler pully in the same manner as on the flat 6 and they should sit right in the V almost lower than the H6. BUT the engine is a bit taller so IDK.

I figured the V8 guys don't have too big of an issue worst case I can route 6 speed cables the same way the V8 guys do (under the V???)

So yes, 5 speed cables can be used... you got me motivated to route them.

They slip under the V with no fuss.











This is the start of the trans "cradle" or whatever. I made this thing that grabs the trans nice and tight then used some flat bar to make a mounting area for a pair of hockey pucks. The pucks will be supported (where my hand is) to a cross beam of some kind (that will be made at a later date... tomorrow???).

Hockey puck transmission mounts \m/

Ebay cat back, and cherry bomb glass paks. Should sound just like a Silverado
