wed or thur or even fri...be ok with me and trust me i want you to do it.. yes tranny case been a issue-just didnt want to tie your hands in being able to make money i know how it is. Thanks again for doing the tranny and for not being discouraged. i know we would of been done with it by now if it wasnt for the case issue we had.
I would but i sold the monza and the 75 i didnt get what its worth but i think i got enough to get the 454 long blked and be able to finish up the tranny and pay you. and id rather just go brand new its best bet.just talked to burt 1300.00 for the short blk and thats with it already being bored 30 over and new cam bearings and freeze plugs in it and that 1300.00 includes the kit with new pistons and rings... having the rods hanged an crank turned and balanced an assembled..he is 2 weeks away from being able to do it-i got to find a FLEXPLATE for it.and it probably be another 500.00 on the heads. i'll put the heads on my self and put in the cam and timing chain...its going to be bad!!!
Its going in the 63-im going to install a.s.a.p.-2500stall converter-i'll wait for you to call---thanks again for going beyond the call of duty on this tranny-no telling what a shop would of done... im up now so any time be good. Iv been working on the gas tank in the 63-its been converted over with the tank in back an they done kinda crapy job doing it-they cut bed boards...the cap wouldnt go on tight an lock on it so-so it has leaves and dirt...in the tank and its a 26 gallon tank an im droping it and cleaning it out an having my bro law who is a welder add 4inches to the bottom of the tank an make it a 35 gallon tank-so no matter my gas miles per gallon i'll be able to go a far distance without having to stop for gas so much. Im thinking i'll get around 10mpg-and that get me 350miles per tank an cost a 100.00 per tank at 2.80 gallon-but i always put the 91 in my hot rods no matter what so it be just a tad over 100.00.But going 350 miles per tank will make it trip worthy. My 70 has a 19 gallon tank and i get almost 12mpg in it and it cost 50.00 to fill and go about 225 miles-that kinda sucked.
Im glad its done to-i hated holding you with ...the 63 is going to be bad to the bone!!!-im working on that gas tank-i get it all cleaned out and its already back up and just got to run the fuel line-power-and ground. Thanks again you've been great about the issues with the tranny build-i am not ever going to get rid/sale it-ever!That tank is almost a 27 gallon tank an with the fuel line...it go as if it's a 27 gallon tank.-I hope now hot rod you have speedy progress in you rebuilds -thanks again!!!!!!!!!Woo Hoo its finally done and Joe has it now. How many weeks ago was it this got started and should have been a 2 day deal? A day to strip it and get it to the machine shop for cleaning, then next day pick it up from the machine shop and assemble. Between bad cores and damaged hard parts, to acquiring the right parts form differant locations, this was the worst nightmare trans I ever built. Also in between my dads gunshot, the holidays, my son being in town and working, time wasn't plentiful. But, its done, and done right. Provided that core case has all its passages cleaned out, it oughta be able to tolerate some heavy duty abuse and give consistant firms shifts !!! Not interested in doing another one anytime soon. Now I get to start on my bro's Turbo 350 for his El Camino, then I'll finally get to build my own 700r4 for the 85 K 1500 4x4 I bought last month !!! That's one I'll be looking forward to doing.
