    A-518 in a J-body?

    Got the transmission back. I ended up screwing it up by cutting the driveshaft too short and obliterating the rear bearing. Since I had to take the transmission I decided to take the engine out and redo the engine compartmen.

    CORDOBA SWAY BAR UPGRADE

    Added an M body cop car rear sway bar to my J body Cordoba. The dimples to locate frame rail mounts were right there. Since im running an 8&3/4 I had to use an e body mount to locate the sway bar endlink. On my two mile trek, I immediately noticed a considerable change in the handling of the...

    A-518 in a J-body?

    Latest update. I got the transmission installed and running. I took it out for a test drive. Got two miles and the trans went out. Got to take it out again! What a pain in the ass. Might have been my fault because I originally cut the driveshaft too short but not certain. I put a new shaft in...

    Nice! I’m sure that was a better option. Is it a front mounted cable setup?

    A-518 in a J-body?

    Latest update. I was able to MacGuyver the linkages by extending the rod by about 2.5 inches! A trip to Harbor freight and Home Depot provided the tap and dye set and the threaded rod and couplings. So far it works great! I can finally install the trans now! Plan an working on it in the next...

    A-518 in a J-body?

    Thanks! Not bad for my first attempt! I had it professionally upholstered but I made the base. When I was still in the guard I had my friend in the machine shop waterjet the aluminum center section.

    A-518 in a J-body?

    A little more progress today Despite the rain. I had to modify my custom console so that my shifter would fit. because of the shifter design I have to get creative to mount it. I’m going to mount it to the top half of the console and bolt the top half of the console to the bottom half. I...

    A-518 in a J-body?

    I purchased a winter’s performance gated shifter which looks like it will fit in my custom center console with little mods. It uses a cable which hopefully will have less clearance issues.

    A-518 in a J-body?

    Unfortunately my other car broke down first so it didn’t mak it in the Garage. Trans is out. I’ve cut the crossmember brace out and have decided to go a different route with the trans mount. I’ll be using a modified butterfly style mount off of an 83 Cordoba. The floor shifter will not work with...

    A-518 in a J-body?

    Getting closer to getting my 518 trans in. I had it rebuilt and was in my basement until last week. Started enclosing my car port since it’s getting cold up here and bought a heater.
