1968 Chevy Camaro - Country Honk, Camaro Revival Part 3

While Kurt test-fit the adapter/bellhousing to the tranny,...

...Bobby torqued fasteners on the Keisler-supplied 168-tooth flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate.

Kurt finished up by attaching the Auto Meter Hall Effect sensor...

...that allows the mechanical drive to interface...

...with the electronic Auto Meter speedometer...

...and Keisler-supplied digital feed to the LS-2 computer VSS input.

The transmission has been in and out for fitting purposes several times. The Street & Performance motor mounts placed the LS-2 2.5 inches farther aft than the location of the stock Camaro V-8...

...The Keisler T56 is larger than the Keisler five-speed and had clearance issues with the transmission tunnel...

...The technical folks at Keisler helped solve the problem. If we had used stock LS motor mounts, there would have been no incident with the tunnel...

...Further, some damage (that we had discussed in a previous segment) had wrinkled the tunnel somewhat, leaving us at a loss as to what the original looked like. We cut part of the tunnel for clearance,...

...then cut out the entire tunnel. Because we removed the damaged section and replaced it with structurally sound metal, the tunnel actually gained strength.
