Did a few things today , but mostly running around town.I dropped all my exhaust stuff off , and it should be done tomorow afternoon , all nice and modified for me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />I then ran around town trying to find some fittings I could use to run the stainless braided lines like I have for my fuel system , from my trans to my trans cooler , to my radiator.Of course the first ones off are flanged , and they have nothing that fits to work with that hose.The other ones right off the trans , one can be done , but no one has that fitting in stock , the other one , it is a fine pipe thread , and again , nothing will work with it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> So , I might go with the black tranny cooler line , and forget going with the stock stuff they had , this way its all easy to put on the adapters , and just push it onto the rad nubs.

I also took the transmission , torque convertor , and flywheel off the truck out front.Well , its just the frame and half the engine now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />Not a whole lot I can do now really on the rebuild.The oil filter adapter I need is on backorder , looking at 10-12 days for that.The exhaust won't be ready till tomorow , but I need that adapter on before I put the header on.The fuel cell is almost done , I think he said wednesday , then I just need to fab the actual mount point for that.The only other thing I can do is start putting the tranny on and make that crossmember work out with it.I still have the transfer case , which I am going to swap the stuff to the one I just took off as the one bolt hole isn't smashed in.

One thing I was looking at , the shifter on the trans , with a 3" body lift , do I weld a pice on the bar to make it longer , or can I go find a bar thats a little longer and swap it in?The 4x shifter is easy , my kit came with a pin thing to weld onto it to make it longer.I just wasn't 100% sure about the shift bar for an auto.Don't want to make it go back together and not shift properly <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
