Teddy didn't tell you earlier but I got my spare tranny out today I think were going to just install that in your 64 until you get the parts for yours so looks like you'll start the season with a4800 stall and a brake if that's ok
if you object let me know
Oh I hope it holds it I've only put 1300hp through that one

It has been a long road and we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel..I think this old junker is going to be a contender this year!!

That is also the date of opening race season here in NY, yet we have 7" of snow yet to go away.... Ordered all my parts, and I should be ready with the new head gaskets, drag radials and 4.10 gears in my new 72 Cuda, so if the weather cooperates, we should be good...

Appreciate it. I figure if I am going to street it, I might as well get used to it going a little slower out of the gate. Still hoping for low 11's in street trim, and we will go from there.

I did pick up a new stock center console for it yestarday as well. Need to find a shifter that will fit inside it.

Thanks,Jeff! Sounds like it will be sitting on the ground tonight.. Jimmy says it is coming along nicely! I also took everyones advice and have a pair of M/T 10.5x31Ws on the way! If he can get it to hook at Humbolt,it will hook anywhere!

With Jimmy doing the work, it should hook in a car wash.

No... My traveling days are done. Just so expensive to drive that far to race, when I can race 40 miles from home. The money I save in fuel costs, I can spend on guns...
