**** UPDATE..... Its broke AGAIN!.... I jumped on it on the highway last night and when it went to down shift it didn't grab any gear and hit the rev limiter and I got out of it and coasted to a stopping place I have no working gears so we are thinking pump or converter but I didn't hear anything at all so I won't really know till I pull it out AGAIN!


blah

Ya I know I should have gone with an 80 but thought I could get away with the 60. And I know I should go to an 80 but that would mean a new yank converter and redoing the floor 

Haven't done anything to the GRO lately. We have been working on my buddy's new garage/shop to get it ready to build the next project. It's a lot easier to build a car in a well prepared garage with a lift

pulled the tranny last night and the snout of the convert is broke at the pump end.. so it needs at least a pump and converter fixed



OUCH... Yank just told me $350 plus shipping... Sarge at Performance Converters of Texas in Kennedale told me about $150 but couldn't say for sure until its opened up

next up, hydroboost for right at $100


Hydroboost setup is done. Best money spent in a long time. (bad quality pics and dirty sorry)



astro van hydroboost with MC (which I didn't use) $32 from Pick-N-Pull

factory Hydroboost lines from an '02 Avalanche $22 and $30

mr gasket shock extenders part number 1290 $11 

(you cut the eye off of the hydroboost and then slide the shock extender over it and well it. This has the same threaded shaft as a factory A body brake booster so you can use your factory brake pedal adapter.


I seperated the vacuum booster fromt he angled mounts and bolted the mount back onto the wall and then bolted the hydroboost to the mount... you could probably drill new holes int he firewall and mount the hydroboost flat on it but I didn'tw ant to do that.
