Re: Bendtsen Straight 8 Transmission adapter

I am putting a 700r4 in my '51 200 using a Bendtsen adapter. Everything bolts in great. I made my own rear crossmember that bolts into the factory holes in the x-member. I have had to made no alterations to the stock frame. I placed the body back on the rails and have plenty of clearance with the stock transmission tunnel as well. Just have to make a custom driveshaft.

I have a lot more work on the chassis in general before this gets back on the road, but the new transmission mock-up was easy.
