It doesn’t like my images hopefully this google image link works https://photos.app.goo.gl/GfKMSguQd2BaYS4H7 the order is different then I mentioned but should be obvious

I’m pretty sure the ctsv shifter is unique to itself and puts the shifter pretty far back. I had to cut the trans tunnel. I will retry posting pics. The first one is just from google of the shifter linkage. And the second two are where it landed in my z

Not sure if this is still needed or relevant but here are the pics!

I have ls and t56 out of a 04 ctsv in my z. I have the apex crossmember and the engine is maybe 2-3” away from the firewall. I have only mocked up the factory shifter linkage and it looks like it’s going to be in a pretty comfortable position. However I will have to cut up the trans tunnel. I will try and post pictures Monday to give an idea where about the factory shifter lands

He’s on Instagram, corrupttbuilds, he also built an older mustang with a Ferrari engine

Hey guys my project this week is the rack. Today I tore down the steering rack got all the old grease out got and got it cleaned up. Once it was clean I noticed inside the housing where the pinion inserts it looks like what I am assuming is wear. Has any one else noticed this if you’ve opened you rack? It wasn’t easy to get a good shot but you can kind of make out what one taking about

That link you posted need to be stickied somewhere that is the holy grail of chassis Reinforcement!!

Any progress on this!?

Hey guys Im restoring my 240 and I have it completely stripped ready for blasting so my garage is full so I need to try and get rid of some things I won’t use. I am curious if the wheels can at lease be sold? And is there anything else that is wanted or needed that is possible to sell to the z community!?

So I decided to stop being lazy and get in the garage and removed the gas tank and the motor. once I dropped the tank I crawled underneath and took some photos and hopefully you guys could help me decipher what I see! It looks like there is some welding on the frame rail to the rear bumper/tow hook mount in the first two photos. The next three photos show the rear rails looking almost buckled? is this normal or do you think it could have been hit from the back? not pictured but I saw after my phone died the rear pass rail is separating from the body. so my main question is if I am going to replace the frame rails how do I support the car? The rotisserie would be mounted to the thing i need to replace, jack stand or cart also going to be resting on metal that would need to be replaced? And the last photo almost looks like there could have been a fire?

any updates!?

Those seats are really cool!

I just read all 18 pages and now I feel confident swapping in a rb! We do needs updates when you can!!

is there any way to look into these cars history? i am curious if the original color was red or the blue that is on the outside. it came with original 1970s blue and yellow plates and i know they dont have modern 17 digit vin but can i use that to find any info?

was the plan always to go blue? the black looked really mean.
