Quote: Looks good Ric! Was the 77 a 3.23 open truck?
close .3.21 open, installed 4.10's too low and then tried 3.55's and a trac lock, works nice ,the plan is to install the 518(which I have) and reinstall the 4.10's.I have the bell to make it all work.. .I wanna see how the overdrive works,not gonna beat it,just curious on the gearing.I want to drive it,hopefully the engine compartment is gonna change in the next 2 months,scaling back,stock valve covers and etc!Going to Carlisle!!!(hopefully)
Ric on the 518 swap I looked at that but on the ones I've seen you have to cut the ear off on the rear of the block that sticks out where the starter is mounted because the starter is in a lower postion with the 518. I just couldn't bring myself to do that to my block. Maybe you have found some other bell that will work without cutting the block. Can't wait till Carlisle. Our trucks side by side will make a neat display. Hows your painting coming along on the 77', haven't heard an update on it in a while.
