    Finally moving under own power. T400 trans solved a lot of issues for me. 120844675_203291911141831_1130057339313417657_o.jpeg

    Thanks, have good sound, amazing mufflers that are removable. Got them from a rodder in Bakersfield March Meet, high quality, thicker steel, guy gave me a killer price, and helped me get them shipped. They look like were made for it.

  5. Looks like a small block Chevy and you said T400 trans. What are you using for a rear end?
    What other plans do you have for the car?

    It has 55 chevy rear with 4.11 wagon gears. Thinking about a little fun down track next year. Might do home made traction bars so it wont wheel hop.

    Got the fresh 65 nova 283 running in 1956. Might be good choice for 30 street use. Have purchased this intake for street use. Cast iron Holley with small ports. 20211203_093531.jpg

    Battery still in stock location, under wood floor boards. Door latches work nice. Do need to make custom forward cross member.

    I see you got the deep TH400 pan. Friend of mine used to get his by swapping them with the standard pans when he serviced military vehicles in the motor pool....:)

    Back on it, putting street radial back on. SBC 307 needs a rebuilt, time to freshen up. Might do a head swap, Jr Stocker needs the power pack heads....
