Nismoandy Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Next on the agenda. Is to replace stock gear change with shortened and I SR shifter I have arranged the photos so you can see the dismantle of the existing Shifter and cradle and then reinstalling the new shifter and cradle. When the engine is reinstalled the reason why the the gear shifter is shortened approximately by 2 inches is because the engine and gearbox is further back into the car. This helps push weight into the centre of the car , we'll see about that at the end of the day, I will weigh it to see difference between stock and ls build 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoandy Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 After you have installed the shifter. Check Gear shifts to make sure all is ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismoandy Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 hi everyone moving along now we are starting to put the engine and gearbox together. Also smaller jobs. First job was to replace pilot bearing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagan Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Having owned 3 Corvettes, I can't wait to see this finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoandy Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Flywheel and clutch installation. You have to clean flywheel and pressure plate with alcohol. Flywheel bolt down to correct torque , align clutch and bolt down pressure plate to correct torque as well . I am using exedy clutch as is original fitment for 350 just upgrading to racing clutch to cope with extra torque, that the engine will make.

Andy_Muxlow Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Looking good Andy! It's all coming together nicely. Love the red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoandy Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Now to put the gearbox and the engine together, i had to replace the thrust bearing carier as it was cracked. Also you have to take a little bit of metal away from the inside of the bell housing arrowed below . This is to allow clearance for the flywheel and and starter motor.
