had to make a new bracket for the shifter and bend / shorten the linkage some to make it fitt the volvo. and i see all need to adjust the floor of the car around the shifter somewhat

but its worth the extra work i think

can you say "overengineering"?

think it may reduce the flexing of the front a little!

That's amazing! Loving all the work done! Are you a welder or fitter and turner by trade?

I have a 2.66 first with a 4.30 rear gear and a 25 inch tall tire. Seems to work really well. The redblock doesnt seem to have the low end tq to have a lower ratio for the take off. Track car only? cuz 4th gear is going to suck on the highway!
