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)

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.

We had this tranny in his car for a test fit with my 1970 400 last summer. It was close, but no hitting .

This one was off center by Under .002. Its going to be fine. Th350 , TH400 doesn't matter.
