TCI subframe in first gen F body
I need some help here. I have installed a TCI front subframe assembly into a 69 Firebird. I have the 04 GTO motor and L460e tranny in the car. Either the transmission is hitting the floor, or the rear mount on this TCi kit is too high. If I lower the tailshaft about 3/4" everything looks OK. I am having difficulty determining what is the problem. I could mod the tranny mount pretty easily, but then I am not sure if the orientation of tailshaft to the pinion would be correct....
Any help would be appreciated.... I called TCI and did not get much help, although they did try. I can't be the only one dealing with this... Thanks. Mike Wasson (309) 360-6385 |

Can't answer your question, but is this a 17,000 mile original 400/TH400 A/C car from Southern California by chance?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
