^^ I also did mine with the engine in. I used the bendible copper looking line from Autozone. Turned out OK but I too will redo it again someday because it's hard to do a super clean job when you're trying to work around the motor and everything in the engine bay. Probably next time the engine is out I'll redo it.

Welp guys the time has come yet again this year to put the SC away. Will be pulling out the r154 swap this week and putting the money towards the tremec t56 (6060).

Took the SC for one last drive before it goes under the knife. Got some killer shots around the city.

VERY clean! I love that classic early look with the wide tires. New we've got at least two people gearing up for a Tremec Magnum swap!

Car looks great. Really like the city pics.

Not a photo guy, but the paint really shines and contrasts very nicely against the buildings and sky/sunset.

Thanks, excited to move onto a new setup for next year.

Main reason for making a change is that I will turning the SC into a dedicated track car and didnt want to end up grenading the r154

Starting to collect parts for the Tremec t56 swap. Also prepping the 5spd SC300 diff and getting ready to fit TRD LSD into it.

Next purchase will be the transmission itself. But a lot of work to do before hand, plan on dropping out the subframe and replacing all bushing with poly ones.

The Clutchmasters Clutch is Rated at 600 ft lbs. But I also got the full race disk so it may be higher. It is the FX400 Series disc

The Quicktime Bellhousing is made out of Steel.

The cast aluminum bellhousing is made by Castlemaine Rod Shop (CRS) which is based out of Australia. But Grannas buys them in bulk and sells them.
