Damn Brew. So much gold in these vids. Such resources in these channels. I'm so stoked to start my 4-eyed & wide project in the near future, and these channels give me so much in the way of valuable info and inspiration. I'm glad there are others that "wronged" their 1st fox, and aren't afraid to share it. Big ups!
This will definitely throw your pinion angle off some lowering the trans down ... Which reminds me, You said you was going to do a step by step video on the proper way to set up the pinion angle several months ago 😀 Thanks for the videos!!
When I put my TKO 600 in my '88 IROC it also had that downward angle at the tail. The directions in the kit wanted you to put spacers between the frame and crossmember. The reason for this was the F-body tunnel being so small and rounded and the TKO having a more squared top because of the removable plates vs the factory T5 or 700r4. I didn't like that downward angle so I modified the tunnel so I could raise the trans and get the factory u-joint angles back.
Most of my cars in general have been Turbo cars. Its my thing...... u cant compare a turbo cars voice notes unless its next to another turbo car. Calypso sounds beautiful to me. U want monster volume then go N/A or SP/PC
Is that GM trans mount made of rubber? I’m thinking of removing my SVE HD red polyurethane trans mount and going with rubber to absorb some the vibes I’m getting. 86 Gt with 408w here with TKX trans. Your thoughts?
Loved the cam/exhaust post.,You should check out Black Widow Venom 250 mufflers for the calypso., I bet they would even give you a pair for your channel
That gm part is going to neutralize the power the turbo is making so it's like you're N/A again 😱🐢🐢🤣😂 you're backing up now putting those cheap gm parts on, you're better off with Chinese parts 😂🤣😂 the Chevy guys are trying to slow you down with their stuff so don't use too much of it 😂🤣thankfully you didn't ls swap it 😂🤣😄🤣👍🏾 ah just messing with ya man 😂🤣
@@awee5816 I've broken some other drivetrain shit in the car but, after a few years, the stifler's has held up. No idea the weight difference. I had a 4 cylinder car stock so chunked that cross member.

The Calypso looks good and sounds sweet! 🦊

We will soon hopefully. It’s a nightmare getting the car on block and getting under it to film though.
Brew .. was the pinion off by a lot ?? Did you have any issues ?

Can not wait for this car to go down the track
And as always good video
Thanks for the info, i just installed my Tkx trans and run into the crossmember problem.
Sorry I haven't been around as much, been working 7 days a week for the last 4 months.
Hell Yeah!!!
Great video, but I'm confused about the one mounting hole for the trans mount?
I wonder if it’s safe to have just one bolt to hold that in
Good Video!!

Stifflers,lmao! I got a stiffy!👈💯🔥😂😂
So you cannot use a oem trans mount with the stifflers tkx cross ?
Summit racing makes a better crossmember it's billet one piece looks amazing
CANADIAN SUPERMAN APPROVES
What size was the bolts did you use? I’m thinking 10 millimeters but not sure thread count
What adjustable clutch cable did you use with the tkx? My 86 factory cable is to tight, clutch won't fully engage. THANKS!
Did you have to upgrade the driveshaft or wasnt necessary

Do you need a new Bellhousing too or will the tkx fit the stock t5 Bellhousing?
Nice, got some Chevy stuff on there, it's gonna fly now. Sorry man, I had to😄

What’s the reason for the gm mount ???
No reason they are being silly
What driveshaft do you need?
What you suggest the TKX
Do u know if u can use a t5 clutch fork and pivot ball stud on the tkx?
I used my stock clutch arm. Not sure about the pivot ball though.
@@BREW2LFOXBODY ok thanks for that, keep up the vids always enjoy them!
I used a stock t5 fork and stock pivot ball. Wrks great.
Thank you for sharing...@@bigbencher425

Have a stifler's in mine, good product
Is it still good today? And would you happen to know what's the weight difference between stock and stifler's?

@@buttcrackcycles if it's a good product than it's a good product. Thanks for the feedback 👍
