Buddies 70 Formula
 

Been working on this 1970 Numbers car for a few years. Finally got in the resto shop after a 1.5 year wait. The car is getting its second coat of high build primer today, then will sit for a month For shrinkage. We will get just the painted shell back, then after engine and trans, will bring it back for final Assy and cut and buff. He bought a Silversport Tremec 5 speed to use with his 3.31 12 bolt. We test fitted it. Factory shifter handle..No MODS to tunnel, Factory clutch too. ( m22 clutch disc). Nothing hits the tunnel. Its a blue car and will be very nice this summer. ( truck in back is a 34 chevy)

The work you guys have been doing on that Formula is very impressive. I can't wait to see it in person!

Got the new Silversport Temec installed on the engine after some alignment checking.
Next is the high heat coated RA manifolds for the 12's.
Original M-20 is rebuilt in cold storage.
He is using his stock Flywheel and M22 clutch. All manual and stock clutch set up.

Looks great. I never new that a bellhousing mounting surface needed to be zero.

What is the ball park price on the Silver Sport tremec that uses the stock parts?

I can find out, but its now 1 year old. My guess is $3500 ALL IN ( drive shaft , cross member included) Only thing to buy is a M22 clutch disc, a METAL fine spline M22 clutch tool, and Hurst Shift handle so it all looks stock inside.
We had this tranny in his car for a test fit with my 1970 400 last summer. It was close, but no hitting .

For the Tremec 5 and 6 speeds it does. For the factory 3 or 4 speed it is close enough as the input shaft has some play.
This one was off center by Under .002. Its going to be fine.
Th350 , TH400 doesn't matter.
