Sure is a big difference in 8,000 or 80,000 miles. Seems this guy is selling someone elses truck. You sure someone won't come back on you wanting his truck back??? $400 seems little high for a truck that don't run and you doing someone a favor hauling it off when he hasn't got a dime in it...

Yeah, you still have a bit of credit here with you left, that will cover the case getting cleaned at the trans shop I hope. I'd like to get it there Monday for sure, and maybe pick it back up Monday afternoon or Tues morning, then the parts should be here by Wednesday. Hopefully, if things go...

Sounds like a good parts truck. You're sure the motor is a new crate motor and a good one?? Sounds to me it has a new transmisison in it too, but its no good. Would make a great parts truck for your pieced together 2500. Keep in mind, that trans won't work in your newer truck. You newer truck...

Yes, that bolt was hell. I worked at it for quite some time, cussing that guy you bought it from the whole time. LIAR, and dumbass has it sitting outside to get this much mud and water in it. I did walk away from it several times and jumped on another project to get something else accomplished...

BTW, I tried again to get OTS to give me a deal on the parts. The asses wouldn't do any price matching, so I ordered the parts out of FL. They will be coming by UPS ground, so I expect it will be a few days. I ordered them this morning, so if they didn't go out today, hopefully tomorrow for...

Hey Allan, I been up to my ass in busy lately. I did finally get some more time to work on that stripped bolt. I tried everything under the sun to no avail. Finally it was time to get out the drill motor and carefully drill it for an easy out without damaging the case or the Center Support. I...

Hey Dave, did you get any more info on this trans as far as specific symptoms??? Let us know what comes of it.

Keep in mind Dave, auto transmisisons are very complex, especially when you get into OD units. So an explicit explanation is needed, and some questions are asked for a reason in determing a best guess for troubleshootng. But, it does not sound as if you really know alot about this situation...

Yepper, very confusing explanation here. So, its not a parking pawl problem at all then. The truck does NOT ROLL when its in PARK??? Lets punctuate this sentence so it make sense a bit and see if it makes a difference. 2 weeks after a rebuild, the truck wont move at all, but will roll in...

EDIT*** BTW, when I said either way should be easy fix, I was reffering to hooking up the rod or spring to the linkage, or change the parking pawl. The change out that rear planet gear, requires pulling trans and gutting it. That rear planet to the output shaft, is just about the first thing...

Here the deal, parking pawls usually don't break. Sure its possible, but I'd suspect 2 other things first. There is rod that pushes the pawl into the outer gear that is connected to the output shaft which locks it is place and its also spring loaded. The builder could have forgotten to put the...

I'll leave it up to you then. I did noticed he did have the converter taped up very well. So if it didn't get any debris in it from sitting, its likely good. Also in the trans pan, you could tell noone cleaned it, so what we saw it what we get it. It looked normal for a used trans. I think most...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5oftRgd9VY&NR=1 One of his runs on pinks in Memphis. Not sure what happened on this one, but you can hear, he pedaled it for some reason. Still did a 10.53. Last I hear, he is now in the high 9's but tries not to go under 10 because the rules get stricker for...

I don't think you wanna know how much NOS that guy is running in that old farm truck. He may burning as much NOS as he is gasoline. LOL If you look quick in the Pinks Interview when they show his motor, you can see several NOS solenoids with the cross bones on them. He got a biggo giggly juice...

Watch this whole video. Here is his pinks interview and shows a run he made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH9tA46Fj1Y&NR=1

Unlike most people, I do like 3/4 ton trucks. They sit up higher, firmer ride, stronger drivetrain parts like the driveshaft and rear end, but you will sure need those 3 gas tanks. :rollin: yeah you can put that 400 in it. Get a B&M ratchet shifter, keep that manual no shifter column in it. Use...

You know I'm a pic posting whore, but pics and this site is a bad subject. I used to have some real nice write-ups here, one of them being my T400 build in that $100 Blue truck we rode in today. But when one of the mods (who is no longer a mod) got ridiculously stupid and made some false...

Here is the pic of the differant stlye center supports. I like the aluminum faced one better and his will have it. Not hard to notice there is much more apply surface there on that one.

OK, so 66Stepside got that 400 trans today. Turned out the guy was full of shit. It was a 70 trans, not a 68 so I had to get out my T400 bible and see if the 70 had the good sprag drum. Lucky for 66S it did. Now thats no guarentee that someone didn't swap it out in the past. But, he did bring...

Cool, so you probably have a good built trans now the way it sounds. And you are right, it driving in the street, the T350 would be alot more fun, and you arnent able to stall out at 5000 + rpm to take from a red light in traffic. LMAO

yeah, that was inteded for Nova66. He mentioned he has been going thru alot of trannies and I wonder why. Must not be having them built right I assume. Maybe? All depends on what he having done to them. As fast as his car his, I'm thinking he may do just great with a Powerglide with a Trans...

Who do you have building your trannies 66Nova??? You shouldn't be going thru alot of trannies. How much are they charging you for T350's? What are they doing to them? Not much should need done to a T350 for that car, but granted the few things that need done are not cheap. I have seen a...

I'll tell a better story, I had a buddy with 3.08 peg legger, and then changed to a 4.56 limited slip. He picked up a few tenths with the gear change, but he was aslo on slicks. Well, he got sick of drviing his El Co at 55mph so put the 3.08 peg legger back in it. So he was at the track with the...

Cool, cuz I know the T400 has its downfalls, and 66Nova is spot on Target with the 3 positives of the T350, lower 1st, lighter weight, and less parastitic horepower loss. But suffer the hp loss, and 15 lbs isn't that bad. If its a problem, eat less twinkies yourself and lose the 15lbs, and the...
