The whine is not bad at all from the tranny, just tells me a well built tranny is behind this bigblock.
When you say a Long Shifter is this a Hurst Long Shifter or one specifically for the new Richmond?

Does you new bride like riding in the car even if you get on it a time or two? I think my girlfriend is somewhat afraid to ride with me and the car is not even built yet. My daughter is ready to get up and go.

Thanks.
