Transmission Time...

Okay Guys,

We're moving forward on the ISIS truck.  There are still a bunch of videos that we are producing that show you all of the details on how we wired the truck with ISIS. 

In parallel, we're working through the details of the drivetrain.  We picked up a Ford AOD a few weeks ago and just started the process of rebuilding it.  All in, it is in pretty good shape but we're going to take the time to rebuild it just to be safe.  A day of time invested now will save us a lot of heartache later. 

To prep for that, we degreased and power washed the transmission housing this afternoon.  We'll start to tear it apart tomorrow. 

At the same time, we picked up a Ford 8.8 inch posi rear end.  It came out of a 5.0L Mustang with 88,000 miles.  We've already taken it apart and it is in great shape.  There's a fair amount of rust on the housing, but we'll have that media blasted tomorrow.  It has the 4-lug axles in it now but we ordered the SN95 5-lug axles from Summit.  We'll have those in a few days and we'll swap them out.  The nice thing about the SN95 axles is that they are about one inch longer than the originals.  This will help space out the new rims that we picked.

We'll get some pictures and video up here on the blog to show our progress.
