Thanks Phil:-)

I get a little surprised what I don't know......... I don't even know what I don't know:-) Dangerous:-)

I am super excited about the condition of the frame and suspension pieces:-)

PS: Engine builder visits are on hold for two weeks, I am not pushed for time and one builder is away for two weeks so I will resume when he returns.

So I added a little fun to the build:-)

Tracker1 has the perfect addition to my W-31 a Hurst Ram Rod Shifter to go behind my Ram Rod 350:-)

This will be perfect on my M22!!

Leave that cut up floor hump alone.....until you have this ready to install [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

That's the new plan:-)

I have a new 4 speed hump section lined up and it will sit aside for a little while:-)

Did you ask Tracker1 if the Ram Rod comes with bushing shims? You will have to do research.....if they are needed for your application on an Olds? I believe they are needed.

I will email you a picture of the bushing.

Ryan.......here's my two cents. If you don't mind modifying your tunnel......do it now cause you'll regret not doing it later and eventually, you WILL put the Ram Rod in. Ask me how I know. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

I am on board:-)

This has been sitting in the back of my mind for a while, and I agree to restore/repair the hump would mean never cutting it up again, so fun now Concours later:-)

I will have the piece of floor on the shelf ready to go.
