Re: Old School Hot Rod Truck (1964)

Well after blowing up the T-5 two times after I posted this thread (about a month after) I installed a TKO 500. This thing is bad ass and I recomend it over the T-5. The guys at Hanlon motor sports were nice and knowledgeable. We even did some mixin and matchin on the parts I already bought for my 3550 5 speed. Didn't take pics on the install cause we did it at night. But the mid point shifter on the 500 would come out about where your stock 4 speed hole is,... if your engine is in the correct V-8 spot. I can take pics later if people want. Thats all for now. Just saving up for paint.. now in Florida by the way.. salt in the air is not good for this thing. Even with the rattle can paint I still have surface rust in some spots. Also.. what do people think of a big block.. I get 16mpg now .. whats 10 with a big block.. lol. Anyway did a quick search.. didn't find much.
