Update, just put my first 150 miles on mine...super smooth shifts, quiet,put her in 5th rolling up I-5 and it was awesome at 70MPH. Motor just loafs along. When I broke in this motor with the 4 speed and 4.10s it got 6 MPG. With the 855 and 3.54's I got 10.5 to 12.5 MPG, may not sound like much, but hey a 572 Hemi with a roller cam and 2 4 barrels running all the time... to me is pretty good! Means that theoretically I could get 180 miles + on a tankful! More later, case
I'm 55 now, no time to waste. Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"
