When I first saw this topic I thought it was going to be for a hot old chick... err.. or a chick my age. LOL

Nice car though. I had a 71 with a 351 when I was 19. Wish I still had that car!

I always throw a low bid on something, just to get it on my list and get outbid right away. Then I wait till the last 30 seconds and put in a bid for what I'm willing to pay. Like on my Traxxas, it took me three tries to get one with a brushless motor and 4x4, but when I won it, it was for a steal. Same with the split bowl..

 

[duanehydro]

I had bid what I could spend. The ol was watching it for me, was at 99.99 until the last 2 seconds....went to 151.40 was no way to bid again. (and no more money, lol)

Got my eye on a nib lesser known brand I'll probably buy from chet herbert perf.

still, it's 240 bucks, have to save some more.

 

[Devilman]

What was up with the transmission? Problems or just freshening it up...


Didn't know you was a transmission guy too...

 

[duanehydro]

Yeah, worked in a trasmission shop for years...Tumlinsons.

I can handle the older units. just checking it out, all the problems were in the converter. crazy.gif

oh yeah, gotta get a gasket kit now, too... :smile19:

 

[Devilman]

I gotcha... good to know... :wink:

What is that a C4 or C6?

 

[duanehydro]

C4....
the ol' 289 is pretty radical, needs a loose converter...looking for around 2600-3000 stall. :smile26:

 

[duanehydro]

For the gearheads:
66 289, 10.5 to one
Boss 302 rods, hi-nodular iron crank
.600 lift solid cam
1.94/1.60 valves, ported 66 289hp heads
Victor intake, 750dp annular discharge
350+hp :grin:

4.86 geared 9" N case with detroit locker, strange axles, ladder bars

 

[Patchman]

With 4:86 gears, it would be fast with a inline 6 cylinder. :grin:
