It would definitely save you on the clutch changes you will be doing ...

Yeah,
the 440 six pack did a job on the 10.5" McLeod disc on its own and it is 350 hp less.

I am thinking about getting that $899 dual disk McLeod setup if I choose to keep the 4 speed.

Sorry folks!!
I was convinced to go with the full manual auto. I traded the 4 speed for the 727 with a bolt in sprag, reverse manual valvebody, red kevlar clutches and a 2800 stall. I know the 4 speed would have been a blast on the street but I have a few friends with their mid to high 6 second 8th S10's and Luv trucks that need their asses cracked by my streetcar!

I still think it will be just as much fun with the auto!

Well,
I am waiting on the 727 so I got the body in epoxy sealer and started cleaning up the dash. Got it painted black and detailed the cluster bezel. Shot it with Mirrachrome paint and detailed the black and silver areas. Also polished the lenses. Looks good for now. I need to find a better bezel and spend a bit more time on it since this one had alot of dings, nicks, scratches and cracks. I also used the Whitegauges.com whiteface decals and the blue l.e.d.'s. I also managed to get a Phantom tach in the stock location. Looks pretty good if I may say!

Its alive!! Haven't hooked the piping up for the turbo yet. Had some issues with the MSD BTM. Got that figured out finally. Waiting on a few more small parts before I start tuning. The lowdeck sounds really good just running through the carb.! Scott Brown cam has quick crisp throttle response and nice idle. Can't wait to get this thing rolling.

This thing is going to be a beast!

Dash,
trying to locate a bulb socket for the light near the alternator gauge so it looks a little dim there. Also made a pod for the two gauges on the column. Turned out nice.
