Tom I do believe that is the best modifacation you have done yet!!!!!!! It give the car some character and is functional too. I like it looks great.
Well racing season has been a bust. I guess I will go deer hunting instead!!!!
Sleeve the 1 bad hole and run it. It should be cheaper to sleeve 1 hole than bore the block and buy pistons.
Tom great to hear about it all. Well except the tire. What kinda time did it run. I bet it was a relief to get it down the track with no...
So who is the #1 seed in this shoot out. You gonna do a qualifier or chicago style. We alredy know about the match race of the decade!!!!!!!!!

Old28 has got a sleeper and not letting anyone know it. Thats why he needed a full race torque convertor. He is making so much horsepower he does...
Well I still think you should get 4 lengths and try and make it a good race.
Ok let me see if I am keeping up so far. Old28 is gonna give old6 1 1/2 lengths. Old 28 has 29 less cubic inches, only 2 gears in his "slushpump",...
Hmm you need a driver???? How much is a plane ticket out there????? Hope you win the whole shooting match Tom you can do it.
Great news Tom I am sure te smile will be hard to get off your face. Now its time to go see all that hard work come together at the track!!!!!!!

Mainly it is the internals of the convertor that is the problem. You have to get a convertor that will work with a transbrake. If you use a delay...
I will say this about a transbrake it will tear a covertor all to pieces if it is not build for that purpose. I know this first hand. Me and my...
Btw I was think about using a toyota rear myself. I have one out of a 81 2wd truck. I know they run them in legends cars with a welded right axle....
