I've been drooling over it a lot lately. All AMERICAN made and less expensive than the sum of the parts.

I'd suggest that you consider an aftermarket planetary set with a good input shaft for a PowerGlide in a heavy, high horsepower car. You might as well do it right the first time. It's cheaper than fixing everything you break and doing it right later. Good luck.

Thanks, John!
I needed that.............

I would suggest that you decide what motor you want to build and define what you want to do with it (use, chassis, vechicle weight, torque convertor, tires, gears, etc.), then call a major cam company and talk to them about what they recommend for your application. They will give you the best advise...

We ALL want to see a picture of that special "parachute" installation........................

Yeah, I've got one on order, but they'll probably check my credit before they ship it........................

Hitch,
I've got a BUNCH of brake line fittings from RJ Race Cars if you want/need them (cheap).

Let Kevin know. I'll bring them down.

Look around. There's a lot more out there.

Doesn't anyone supply a fiberglass or carbon fiber dash for that Nova?

Hunker down and pucker up, Dude!
That old saying, "Go West, Young man!" may still be valid.
Tornados aren't 1600 mile wide and they don't last for days, either.
Dang, 'Hitch, we may live in Paradise and not even know it.............

I mentioned this to my son, who is a Cummings tech. He said that if the starter switch is a rocker type, normally in the middle position, try pressing and holding it in the opposite direction from "start". If you hear a "clicking" sound, it should be the primer working.

What they said.

Show us more when you can.

"We got rained out today."

Go ahead, Craig. RUB IT IN!

I know how you feel.
