Thanks for the good words, guys! I got about 3 hours of road time on the new engine/trans and I'm liking it a bunch. That 383's just gotta ton of torque, someday soon I'll get enuf miles on to see if she got some "twist" to her, too.
I am pure luvin that tko, too!
Best part is she's smooth and solid, fires at the twist of the key and runs till I untwist it. All the wet stuff is stayin on the inside, too!

Cool, thanks for the update, Jim. Have tested out the new clutch yet? :unibrow:

She's looking good, Jim.

Clutch hell... I really need to test out a new 8.5" rear axle, with posi! Still the original 8.2 pegleg, and need to keep it in oine peice for the summer.

Drove 'er to wrok yesterday and today, 'bout 150 miles total including some freeqway time, I'll get that breakin done tootsweet.

Severely traction limited at this point... rolling in first, 1/4 throttle will melt em, any rpm even from idle. same in second but it takes about half.

Did 2 full 3 gear pulls the other night... once things get hooked up near the top of secoind, she pulls clean and strong, didn't let her go over 6k yet tho.. :thumbsup:
