Thread: After market trans tunnel

Tweet

Does anyone sell a prefab trans tunnel that I can just weld into my current project? I am installing a 98 LS1 with 4L60E and the current tunnel is way to small. I hate to have to fab one from scatch if there is something already out there. Thanks You.

Yes, its called thin wall mechanical tubing. Buy the diameter you need, split it lengthwise. Now you have one to use and one for a friend.

Easy way that I've raised tunnels in the past is to slice it along the floor, add the height I need for the bigger tranny with a strip of 18 ga. and weld it all back together. The trimming and welding is time consuming, but it makes for a good looking tunnel. I've also used the aluminum ones (Comp. Eng. in Florida sells a nice one) and installed them with Dzus fasteners to facilitate quick tranny and clutch changes.

A garbage can...Dang Denny, why didn't I think of that. Gonna start calling you McGiver.

Ain't that the truth. In order to get them to bend metal, you've got to unbend your wallet.

Of course, I'm so cheap, I make Jack Benny look like a phillanthopist.

take the lid and make a hibachi out of it

I tried using a lid for that. The meat tasted like garbage. I didn't know you were supposed to wash it first.

hmmmmmmmmmm dry run

Like the first time my wife did "Beer Can Chicken". Where you shove a can of beer up a chickens butt and put it on the grill. If you wanted chicken that day, you had to peel it off the side of the house...She forgot to open the can.

Nobody tells us these things...

Darned chickens never could hold their liquor.
