Joint project between my girlfriend and I, we just got the transmission to behave right this weekend.

A 2gr-fe is a strange choice, but it really wakes up an old luxury car.

This thing is fucking ridiculous lol.

      So, I’ve been asked by my better half to not share too many photos until we finish un-fucking a bunch of the bodged stuff we made in the engine bay to get it to a test drive. Since it’s pretty horrific lol. But I can at least give you this:

      Here’s the engine and trans packaged before we dropped it in, showing the bizzare “longitudinal front wheel drive” that GM built. Its a big chain drive between the engine and a traditional trans that sits along side it.

        That’s wild! And I love it.

        I look forward to more as you continue the build.

        Thank you!
