Default how to shove a 90 440t4 in place of a 88 125c in a POS 88 cutty ciera

gotta love Gm two different spellings for the same word...

anyways getting reall close to firing up Al's Jyard hauler/DD
(former) 2.8/125c car

lots of small custom sh!7

machine down 440T4 hall effect VSS housing to make a 3/16ths spacer to bolt the 125c mechanical speedo housing and gov shaft into the 440t4, worked perfect, even counterbored the 440 sliver to locate the 125c housing

reworked (cut weld/spacer) broken rear mount to bolt to side pan of 440t4 (left it broken )

removed rubber mount from front mount, cut and welded it solid since it was locate 1 inch farther forward.

moved diff to engine bracket over to the other holes in the block, fit perfect, left 1 bolt out

deleted pan sump for the trans ciculation pump that was used with it from when it was in the rear of the 442.

put in the 2.8l/125c TV cable

rework trans cooler lines from 442 install to work with D side radiator fittings

rewired 440t4 5 wire round connector to the 125c's harness

now lets see how the great rig fest turns out...

X yer fingers folks, smoke test's comming up...
