Looks great!  What kind of transmission is that?

Nice looking car and engine, and interesting choice on transmissions. Did you have to modify the floor to clear the top of the rail shifter housing on top of the trans case? And where did you get the spacer ring for the lower pulley?

I'd be interested in hearing feedback on that transmission when you get some miles on it.

McLeod tried marketing their own transmission about 10 (?) years ago, and the project was essentially stillborn. Interesting that they have persevered, BUT....  "Due to unforeseen parts unavailability, the Muscle Car transmissions are on current back order. Please keep checking back for further updates."

It figures.
