saw that too! never seen that before.

 

No camera tricks.Those were on when I got it. Good for conversation. Those will be hitting the scrap pile once I get the lift.

 

Ive seen them for sale before... doubt they do a whole lot anyways.

 

Picked up my trans up today. Actually I picked it up twice..........

We (Me and the trans guy) loaded it and he closed the tailgate. I didn't check if it latched. This comes into play later. I drive 25 miles to my shop to unload it but as I backed to the door I noticed I could see the garage door. Odd, the trans is not there and the tailgate is down. ****! I boogie down the separated 4 lane that is getting redone to find it. It's right where I figured it would be. Didn't even get hit by anything but the road. Get it back in the truck and head to the shop to access the damage. The new output shaft got a ding in the splines and the trans pan got killed. I pull the pan to hammer out the dents and find a tear in it. Scrap.

I wanted a aluminum pan with a drain plug anyway.

Cliffs; get new trans, dumbass forgets to check the tailgate and ends up picking said trans off the highway with a wasted pan.

This happened 1/2 mile from my shop.

 

Never let anyone load something for you.

Dad bought a snowmobile trailer, backed it up, about to get out, guy informed not to bother, hed hook it up.

2 hours later, a big bump, and through my dads bumper the trailer went. The guy hadnt put the pin in.

 

Seen this happen a month ago. I was following a guy in a truck and a ratty camper go over a set of railroad tracks a bit too fast, hit a bump and sparks flew.

 

looks good

 

This build is awesome! Whats the word on it now?

 

Got my new B&M pan a couple weeks ago. Stock depth. I had a thought about gluing some kind of cheap lift together with parts I already have or need to get. Need to rework shocks and mounts so they still work with the screwing around but then I ran some numbers and figured out that I would be ahead just getting the lift I'm after instead of butchering something together to get me by. I will still need a SYE regardless of what happens. I still need to stare at the front a while to see if I can play with bumpstops so the upper arms won't crash into the exhaust.

So it still sits, waiting on money.

 

Once its road worthy you should upload videos so we can see how well it takes off. Btw 350 or 327?

 

305 at the moment.

 

different from most builds. I like it. Usually dont like the red interiors but yours looks pretty clean. Looks good man. Keep it up.

 

That thing is awesome, and to think I didnt want to put a 350 in my firebird cause was too hard. Shame on me. My junk is still not running yet also. Seeing this really makes me want to get my car fixed now. How much power you think its putting out now?

 

More than 50 and less than 500. How's that for a question mark?

It feels good and has factory 4.10's in it. Should be a barn burner.

 

Figured out a way to gain some clearance for the drivers downpipe. It will get friendly with the upper control arm. I have a new pair of BDS upper arms, stock length and will gain me the extra couple inches needed so things won't crash because of the tube design and how it attaches to the diff.
