I can’t stress enough how this is just a ‘test fit’ of the engine, transmission, driveshaft, and a couple of other parts. That means it’s all coming back out at some point. However, when it goes back in, it should be ready to go because I will have worked out all the ‘bugs’.
Test fitting is important. You don’t have to do it, but if you do, you’ll have a much easier time during final assembly. A stitch in time saves 9 as they say.
Also, please keep in mind I won’t be using the T-5 that Paul Cangialosi built for the #FairmontProject. It’s not going to handle the power the engine makes, but it does have the same dimensions as the TKO 600 I’ll be installing in a future video.
Here’s that video series Paul and I did together on the transmission rebuild. If you haven’t seen it, now that it is excellent and worth watching. Especially if you’re going to build a T-5.
