So far it seems like a good size. It went from spacious to messy pretty quick. Once all that extra transmission stuff is off the floor it won't be so cluttered.

It's new; they're NEVER big enough.

I'm afraid of myself since I rented the hangar. I have more room than stuff. Given enough time, that won't remain the case. It's good to see some progress on this thing!

Did you check the alignment on the bellhousing/dowel pins? I recall Tremec being very specific about that. My stock bellhousing alignment was off. Moroso to the rescue.

I did about 25 years ago when I first bought and installed that Lakewood. I remember being surprised it was as close as it was.

I cleaned up my mess today and went to slide my yoke in to take a measurement to get my driveline shortened. Didn't realize that a 31 spline Ford style is needed. Got one on order now so we wait.

I also took a good hard look at the bed and called my brother to compare notes. It's looking like I'm going to just run it. I'd bought a new partial bed kit years ago but I don't think I'm going to use it now.
