Yeah Glenn the last couple of days pretty much sucked. The 2 trips to Tucson aggravated the back quite a bit so yesterday was pretty much just resting……which really bothers me when I feel I have something to do. It also gets a bit expensive as I can still cruise the net for parts to buy.

Hopefully today will be better and I’ll get a couple hours in.


It is hard to tell what he was running Nolan. Hell there are kits out there to bolt everything from the original slant 6 to 440s to 426 based HEMIs to the newer Gen 3 HEMIs in them. Of course there’s nothing to do a Gen 1 HEMI like I’m doing but that’s what makes it challenging.

Yeah gears are really what can turn it into a fun ride. With the overdrive transmission it lets you have the best of both worlds. The easy route for me to take on this project would be to use a regular 727 transmission (which would bolt in) with about a 3.20 gear. With the 46RH overdrive transmission I can run a 4.30 to 4.56 gears and have an effective ratio of 2.96 or 3.14 respectively. It will take a fair amount of tunnel mods, but It will be worth it.
