The car still isn't wired,and I broke the transmission {lost 2nd gear}down in GA.but it performed pretty well.I think I'm going to put a TKO600 that was slated to go in my Camaro because I was having so much trouble keeping up with Payton's 6 speed Camaro on the highway.

Pulled the car in to start on the transmission.I will probably stick the TKO 600 which belongs in my Camaro in it for now,while I search for a cheap Jerico.I probably ought to stick the whole L92 big cammed 6.0 in there all at the same time,but I don't have the time before Motor State.Still no wiring or gauges in the car,but I've put quite a few miles on it locally.It is really a blast to drive,the most predictable,stable car I've ever driven.

All that thrashing on the car,left my wife alot of time to develop a honey due list that a team of well skilled craftsmen would run from.So I've been catching at home.I got the trans in tonight,drove it for the first time,feels good,shifts like butter compared to the Muncie, and the overdrive is a dream.I was going to put the L92 motor ,but it has a 4bbl efi type intake and will take some time to get the tune right,and most of all they backordered a couple of parts I needed to complete the install.I'm going to finish the wiring,get the bugs out of the brakes,and put it on the trailer for Michigan.(sounds fimiliar) Ron
No magazines yet.I would like to have a little more time to clean up some of the panel adjustments and wet sand and reclear the thing.When I do the engine swap I'll do under the hood alot nicer, but for this summer I'm just going to beat the crap out of the thing.You wouldn't believe how many paint chips are on this thing already,1500 miles on an open trailer (never good).I really love the thing though,I don't worry about anything.Just drive the wheels off it, just as I planned.Ron
Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!
