I was away from the channel for a couple weeks. Enjoyed coming back and watching parts 1 and 2 today.
The fit-out of all these parts into the shell of the Fairmont really reminds me how much goes into engineering a vehicle, including how to manage NVH, and also allow for drivetrain movement during acceleration changes. For instance, I saw how your new transmission was touching or would be touching the floorpan. I’m sure you’ve got all this covered/planned for, but couldn’t help but think about excessive vibration transferred from the transmission into the cabin, as well as wondered how things will be able to move back and forth when you rev the engine.
This car is going to be a monster.

The transmission is not coming into contact with the floorpan. There’s plenty of clearance, but I will be changing out the poly mount for a rubber one. The experts advise thats a better option.
Yes, a ton of work goes into reengineering a vehicle. In fact, that’s one of the main points of doing this series is to show that very thing.
Thanks for your comment.
