Messed around with the black box linkage and it there but you can see I had to trim the bracket to make it work. I will have to weld a piece in there as well as add some extra reinforcement.

Got the shifter linkage mocked up where it needs to be for the split case. Next is pull it apart install the black box seal and studs for final assembly and weld up the brackets for the shifters

I’m all over the place with this right now. I mounted the in tank pump with a questionable o ring setup cause I’m not using the recommended pump. I’m using what I have which is a 8.1 pump. Only to have a 8.1 come in on the hook for a pump replacement so I scored the oring/gasket

Tcase is bolted up for the last time hopefully. I’ve got the mount bracket pulled for final welding and paint. Tcase shifter is off to finalize brackets

What's special/desirable about the 8.1 pump?

Jay and brad had time yesterday to swing by and put my front together. Plenty room for the 8274 might even have room for a grill. I cut and sleeved the front bar work for the hydro boost Image
Should take a few hits I think
