[mpenny.com] City: Caledonia, On Car Model: 1973 TR6 Engine: 99 Pontiac L67 V6 3800 Exhaust: Custom Headers and 2 1/2" dual exhaust Transmission: T5 from a 99 V6 Camaro Rear Axle: Nissan R200 with CV axles from good parts Front Susp.: stock with coil overs Rear Susp.: coil over Body Mods: Complete custom frame This is how it looked before I started work. It didn't look to bad ![]() Until I started to take the fenders off ![]() ![]() ![]() Test fitting the motor ![]() Motor mockup and headers ![]() I decided not to try fixing up the old TR6 frame but instead build a completely new frame from scratch. Most of the frame is made from 3/16” x 3” x 3” square tubing. It will be heaver then the old frame but should not have any problems handling the new power plant. I am still mocking up the frame. The small piece of tube in the center of the frame is also temporary and will be replaced. ![]() Showing the coil over shocks and R200 diff mount. The 1” x 2” bar on the back of the R200 diff is just for mock up. I am using some CV shafts from Good parts ![]() I am trying to keep the diff a low as possible. I bent a couple pieces of 3” x 3” tubing for the uprights so that they follow the angle of the frame and diff mount. ![]() ![]() I made some scratch built motor mounts.I started with a piece of 1/4” x 3” flat bar for the motor plates and some 1-3/8” x .120 wall tubing with a couple rubber bushings. Using a piece of cardboard to design the legs ![]() For the leg piece I started with some 2” x 2” 3/16” wall square tubing and cut it on the band saw. I also made a hole for access to the lower bolt on the motor plate. ![]() ![]() ![]() I am in the process of modifying the tail housing of my T5 Transmission to allow the shifter to be located in the TR6 factory location. I am making a coupling and housing that will allow any standard factory or aftermarket shifter to be used. ![]() cut out part of the shifter selector shaft tunnel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Machined up a new shifter housing. ![]() ![]() ![]() This week I started working on shorting the nose of the M90 Gen V supercharger . I turned down a new shaft that is about 4” shorter then the original. ![]() Pressed on the bearing. The knurling on the shaft holds the drive flange ![]() Drive flange pressed on. ![]() I cut down the housing on the mill and machined the new bearing pocket. ![]() ![]() Finished machining the parts. ![]() Test fitting the shortened supercharger. ![]() Time to start on the jack shaft and pulleys. ![]() [img][/img] Edited 2 time(s).
