Thanks.

Next up on the list, change everything.

I made a decision in the beginning to try and run an HEI. Of course to do that, engine placement was compromised a little. Well, its just not going to fly with the big block. I am going to have to use a smaller distrubutor and move the engine back and rework my chassis mounts.

I also have worked in the Chrysler 833 manual 4-speed trans, so i have no issues with speedo hook up, driveshaft hook up or any of that fun stuff. So that GM 833 (MY06) overdrive 4-speed trans and bellhousing will be for sale, i just need to get a Chevy blowproof bellhousing first.

I am painting the garage---still, so maybe tommorow i can get back on it and do some work while i am off this week---stay tuned.
