Default trans is finally in!

well after a pain in the a$$ with getting the pilot bearing out, and the torque converter not seating right for the longest time i finally got the transmission into the car! currently its just supported by a jack stand as i am going to be fabricating my own trans crossmmber with a kit from competition engineering.



also got my coolant tanks mounted! used an aluminum sleeve to give the tanks the proper off set and then ran the bolts through the sleeves

damn that blows. I hope its not TO big. with that blower I don't think I would want a stall higher then 3,000 MAX with 2200-2500 being ideal.
