Shifter cable mounting went much quicker that I expected as well, have great travel with no geometry problems at all.Very little fab required, I only had to make the angle mount and on the allison shift arm I had to remove the male attachment pin, the rest is factory FMC hardware.


emergency brake modification was a breeze, just extended the stock bracket a bit and it was pretty much a bolt in using the factory FMC u-bolt to retain the cable.

new driveshaft installed with the new differential end yoke, super tight fit but it's in! All parts are spicer. End Yoke: p/n 3-4-6221-1X Slip Yoke: p/n 3-3-1511KX Yoke Shaft: p/n 3-82-811


Shows the difference in the yoke shaft diameter, new shaft is larger and 16 spline vs 10 spline. One nice thing about 16 spline is that you can get a true 90dg phasing which can't be done with the 10spline (you can only get 72 with two teeth or 108dg with 3 teeth rotation). I talked with a couple driveline shops and both said that if the angles are unequal(as they are on an FMC) then 90dg phasing is proper installation.


u-joint difference between stock and 1410 series The Neapco 1410 to 1480 u-joints are p/n 3-1448


3" square tube drop down structure, same width as the frame rails and same as the new engine cross-member


fabricated my own transmission mount bracket based on pic's from Stephen's and some others one line. I couldn't bring myself to pay $70 for it.


passenger side required further roll back of the electrical and plumbing which took entirely too long..


drivers side was pretty easy as there wasn't much interference


repurposing the original transmission cross-member


just enough room to get the rear sump of the oil pan off if needed


still 1/2" clearance
