erehemantresni Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I had to modify the mount quite a bit. The 78 tc buckets are a bit larger than the earlier models. Was not a "bolt in". Also the 78 floor is different so the trans mount doesnt work very well. Made my own. If it were me Id just buy a motor plate and make your own motor mount.

zedman280 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I should have mentioned this, but I did pick up the kit from Z8 Driver, and I just wanted to say he is a 'stand up', and true car guy. I ended up spending a couple hours with him just chewing the fat about cars and I was lucky enough to go for a ride in Z8 (most impressive indeed !). I'd be ecstatic if my build ended up half as good as his turned out !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
