They way it looks , the engine deal is going to cost a lot more money. Buying a bullet proof rear, shocks , springs and what ever traction devices probably will cost him as much as the motor did.
Money is not a problem for this guy. He's got more than he knows what to do with. He's just not sure what to spend it on.
We got the 468 out tonight. Converter is actually a brand new 8" Hughes (I forgot he had replaced the continental when he had a brand new transmission installed last year).. He's going to call tomorrow and ask their opinion, if they suggest replacing it, he will. I also suggested he look into a complete aftermarket 9" chunk. He's gonna look into that also.
