What are your G-body NEW YEAR'S resolutions for 2019?

[Northernregal]

Just to have enough done to drive down for a cruise with Rktpwrd and see the Juggernaut.

Oh ya, 12.5 1/4 and do at least one autocross event.

I'm going to change the bellhousing to get rid of the T5 WC tilt so I'll have to be changing the transmission crossmember. I'll have to figure out which crossmember will fit so if any of you know what fits please let me know. I also want to put on the rear disks that i mocked up years ago and change the brakes to manual.

I used the stock G-body bellhousing with an F-body T5. You need one of these:

I cut off the trans pad, cut a piece of box tube, drilled and bolted it onto the mount on the now-upright transmission. Then I welded on some Rube Goldberg angle iron. Worked for years until I got the TKO.

I modified the stock crossmember by cutting off the tounge and weleded a new one that was longer and on an angle for the T5, I also modified it for duel exhaust. I could just modify the tongue again but I'd like to get one that is lighter.I just looked it up and the 700r4 has the same measurement from the front of the bellhousing to the transmission support as the T5 does so it should be easier than I thought to find one

I picked up a Ford T5 tailhousing to see if it could work as a swap to put an upright mount under a F-body T5. The housing is shorter, the shifter is in a different location, and the output yoke is a different size. Then I wondered if I could make an angled shim - too much tilt to correct, would require mounting the pad below the crossmember. Finally, I explored machining the mount down and epoxying on a thinner shim, putting a strap around the top of the housing for security, but I did not have the resources.

I'm interested to see what solution you design.

This one should do the trick, it fits the 700R4, T5 and 4L60 in a G body

Pull out A/C and replace all seals/gaskets.. I just took body off rotisserie and put it on the frame.. maybe electrical stuff.. paint firewall.. not much of a hurry until I find a drivetrain for my nova. Then drivetrain in my nova goes into the monte.

What trans are you putting in it.

Another th350 but one built by someone that knows what there doing. It's actually done I just need to pick it up and put it in

I was going to keep the 200c in the Cutlass as a spare but if you want it, it's yours.

Shift's and works like new.

Only one burnout ever done in car!!!!!
