not sure if anyone noticed the chain around the water pump, thats keeping the motor level since i removed the old C4 auto trans so i can install the T-5 5-speed .
What do you guys think so far?
Still need a new flywheel to install the tranny, modify the pedal assembly to fit a clutch pedal, get the motor finished, rebuild the front suspention, redo all the brakes , get a new rag top, upgrade the look of the dash and redo the seats or get some racing seats.
