Little update for all of you. The car is on the road and running. Today was my first chance to drive it, and I am still on another planet
Anyway, the sensor I ordered from Dakota Digital looks like it will do the trick. I spliced the wires from the VSS sensor into the wires on the sensor and I have a speedo. It might not be accurate, but it is working. I will get in to the computer and work with the settings till I get it to read right. But ALL you need is the dakota sensor...part number 1-01 I believe.

COOL!! So you did not use the SGI unit, just the screw in sensor that goes in the trans, very swift and cheap!

Nice lil info base here for th400 swap over guys. I did the th400 elec speedo setup (from a 91 454ss pickup orig) Then made the trany mount. I did not like the m6 setup as after we had the car on the lift and did all the looking it was alot more hassle then to make a fully custom one. The trany was like 1.75" too high for the mount and off shifted a bit (forget if forward or rearward) Love my trany crossbrace as it only weighs 2.5#

Z: Can't see it to well. I was just wondering that's all. I made my own, looks sorta like the BMR one but different. Cool site I spent about 20 minutes looking at pics. Who did your rear sway bar? Thanks for the pics.

I will take some when i get a chance as everything is getting painted and powdercoated now.
Jay Billingsley did the anti roll bar and i really like it if I was closer I would have had him build me the T/A as well.

Yeah I thought it looked like his, I remember when I saw Sicoras(sp) and then yours that they looked alike. Thought about makeing my own but my shop doesn't have the right steel. So it's up in the air right now for a BMR or Jay's. Has Jay come out with his wheelie bar yet?

Yes, Jay has the wheelie bars like his old car (madmans now) and the others. I forget the exact pricing but you will have to cut the rear package tray and weld on the tabs (fairly simple). For the cost of the anti roll bar it is not that much cause he set it all up on my rearend housing making sure it was square and setup right.

Thanks for the good info as always. I will most likely go with the Billingsley anti roll bar. Unless I can get my hands on some chromoly. All I can get is black pipe. But it works great for my TA and LCA and tranny mount. Hell I might just make my own wheelie bars. Time to start the search engine for some designs,I rreally like Sicoras w/bars but those were custom made for his car. Again thanks alot Z.

are you wanting the wheelie bars to be wide like Chris'? I have my single wheel setup forsale I took off my car cause i am going with a dual wheel setup but it will not be on the car while i test out the suspension (using a ls1 on giggle) I personally like the tuneability of the dual wheel setups but the looks of the singles.
