Quote: This is my starting point for the '11 edition of drag week, just got it back from getting the floorplan all welded back up from the driveshaft explosion back last November...guess I move alot slower than you!!
I do everything myself... by next week I should have all the bad floor out and have all the tubing I'll need and start on the chassis with in 2 weeks... got 90% of the engine, I have a 9" that I need to cut down, got the struts and rear shocks and wheel(might have to get different rears)... the one thing I'm still working on is trans... if I want to go with a over drive
If I may recomend a trans....Check out SMR's 727 shorty over drive that uses a gear vendors set-up. I went with an A500 on mine, but I am sure it would not handle the kinda hp your going to throw at it. I like the 727OD because the JW bell will fit it, and a Lofgran blacket will fit it, as well as its a pretty standard piece. And the OD in that style isn't a parasitic loss like it is with an A500...So you get something that will handle a fair amount of hp and an OD to boot with minimal weight gain. With a full manual VB, it should rock.
