The car should run oretty good this year. I have a new set of M/T drag radials on the way $300 shipped and I just picked up a transmision. Its got about $3000 worth of work done to it (from what the guy said) 904, low 1st gear, T/A valvebody, transhield and a 8" T/A converter. I also have a set of 3.91s going in it that I got from walter.

 

I got the trans from BossVega's cousin. It was in his 9 second tube chassis Duster. He put the motor in a Tube chassis Daytona and switched to a PowerGlide. I paid $500 for it.

I want to pick up a A@A valve body from Chris though.

 

Sounds good Adam.
What about your front brakes

 

Yeah I know I have to do those, fix the LCA bushings, and a few other small things.

 

Making progress, got the carb to idle, wired in my killswitch and all my guages are hooked up. Going to pick up the trans tonight.

 

Have fun =D>

 

Got the transmission. $3500 to build it. 904 low gear set, T/A valve body, bolt in sprag and a T/A 8" converter.

Tony what converter did you go with ?

 

I went with a custom 10" that Continental built for my specs.
3800 flash

 

The guys I bought the trans from said this one was 3500-3800 but that seems pretty tight for a 8" The T/A site lists a few 8" converters ( not mine though) and there rated at 5500

 

I'd agree . You would think maybe 4600.

 

I'll give turbo action a call and see what they say. I here they keep good records of the converters.

Should be fun on the street though.
