    Wanted to tighten up the shifts so I installed a short throw shifter and bronze bushing IMG_20220402_113713_999~2.jpg IMG_20220402_120135_995.jpg

    My son put a TKX in his 72, used his C4 drive shaft after changing the front yoke to a 31 spline.

    Not sure of the brand but it's a fox body shaft, T5 is out of a v6 sn95 so it's a bit longer than a fox trans, I believe I used a spicer 5-1204x joint at the diff.

    I found a great deal on a 3.55 LSD unit. While I was there, the lug nuts sat flush so I added some extended lugs and was able to fit a .25 spacer for better fitment.
