Here is the transmission going through
        some weight reduction. Really the idea here is to make a little more
        clearance for things like headers. There were three large pieces that
        got the axe (one on the other side) and are going to be ground down
        flush with the case (or to the red lines). There is also a rib down the
        center that saw the grinder as well.

		 This is what it looks like after some
        grinding and finishing. I'll be doing some sanding next.

		 I completely removed the rib that ran
        down the center. This rib was 3/8" to 1/2" tall in places.

      You can see that I removed the rib
        from the front here too. I'll be giving this area a better finish because it
        will show when it's installed. The whole trans won't be polished because
        I don't know to many people that will be taking a mirror while under the
        car to see if the top looks nice or not.
