    Put 3.08 gears in it, you can cruise the freeway plus tackle hilly regions without knocking it back too many gears.

  2. I'll bet that original interior has the great "old '53 Chevy" smell. Get rid of that Little Tree air freshener. They need an air freshener that smells like that interior. "Multi Doors" rule.

    Indeed! The interior smells rad and musty. A unique aroma much like a mix between an old sweaty canvas army tent and ancient grease caked on the frame like dirt clods.

    Love those 4-doors! It seems like everyone nowadays covets the 2-door models, but the 4-door's a party car!

    Im about to start my drivetrain swap. Removing my 235 inline, 3 speed, enclosed driveline and 3.55 rearend.

    Ill be replacing it with a 250 inline, T5, open driveline and Nova Rearend. I have everything now except the driveline which Ill have made at the local shop once I know the measurements.

    Heres my question: What would you pay for a freshly rebuilt, strong running 235 with build papers, a rebuilt 3 speed, driveline and a 3.55 rearend combo?

    I want to sell it all as a package. What price would you think is a good deal?

    Thanks!

    Heres my new grill! Flipped it upside down and it fits right in like it was a factory option! haha! And it accents the side lines as if it was made for it!
    Can you guess what it is?

    I feel like I've seen this out and about before.
    Could the grille be a merc or thunderbird grille?
