Good to hear that she fired up today. Emilio called me and said that the beast is alive and well. He did not metion that you were having problems with the backing plate, but it sounds like a quick fix....just go back to a T-5....LOL!!!!
Are you kidding me! If you drove in my car with this reverse manual C4 you would be swapping to a tricked out AOD.

When I build my personal track car, I will have an automatic transmission. Only way to go!!!!!
Damn Bobby. Now I am really gonna loose.......... Great job on the engine. You will get thr quirks all outta it and be whoppin ass in no time!!!!!
Thanks Gibs! Hopefully this is my saving grace. I'll take it to work and sand blast it tomorrow and set it aside until I return from Chicago. If you look at the pics you can clearly see where my issue is. I never realized that this was a potential problem because it was fine with the Canton oil pan. If you look at the T5 plate it has a recess that goes out towards the flexplate. The oil pan is pushing that recess towards the converter as well because of how much lower the T5 plate goes. Lets just say I milled it down a little.

Once I take the T5 plate out I'll post pics of the carnage.
Bobby, no problem. Glad I could help. I hope the part fits and works for you.
I see the difference. I thought there was another little plate that went along the bottom area for the C-4 but I dont know....
With the progress I have made on mine....even if I decided to stay with a C-4, I wouldnt need it for many years....LOL At least the 67 will live on, and at the track too!!!!

i hope it all works out, i dont know if i'll have connectivity during this underway so good luck on the parts man....my guess for your new numbers is 400+ hp....just in case....
On the second thought. That is exactly what I'm going to do. One of my friends that I work with has an adapter for the jack to convert it to a trnny jack. I'll pull one header the driveshaft and pull the tranny back, so I can switch the plate and throw it back together.
When I'm done with that I'll put the next (Last Minute) new additions on.

yes there is another part to the C4 backing plate.. it is the cover you take off to get to the torque converter bolts, it mounts to the bottom of the bell housing... you can see a dirt line on the backing plate bobby posted were the other part of the plate goes... if you were using the T5 backing plate before bobby how were you mount the torque converter to the fly wheel???

Not quite. I'm installing a header evacuation kit. The header evac kits do not work with chambered mufflers, so I bought some Dynomax Race Bullets.
I think it's gonna be loud. :evil:

hell yea should sound really good... almost like a big block with that 600 lift you got
Well I got a little 10 min. mod in today after work. I installed an engine torque link. The car will not be wasting any unnecessary energy twisting the engine. Solid motor mounts and this torque link should have everything rock solid.
Is an aluminum head the bast place to put that? I know the solid motor mounts will help but I would be skeered lol.
Like I said man If you need help let me no ok
