transmission can be outside if you keep the torque converter on it, rubber glove or something over the tailshaft and dipstick/cooler holes capped. Wrap it in a tarp or plastic, idea is to keep moisture out of it. Not any different than sitting outside in a vehicle if you keep it dry.

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

nice work there boy, I hope I can get the energy to get going on my truck more:waah:

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

thats the thing it was outside all winter!

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

Hey Stan if the trans is older or has been sitting for awhile you might think about replacing the seals now, before you start driving it and it starts leaking. It would be a drag if you had to remove it again.

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

hey jeff whats up .i know its apain to takeit back out iwill see what i can do i will call a guy on sat he has a 700r4for 250$ and i im buying a 650carb from him so lets see what happens....:metal:

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

Nice score on the plate!

Just a heads up on your trans and 373 rear setup. I'm running the same in my truck with a rear tire size 285/60/16 and at 60 MPH the engine is turning 2900 RPM!! Hopefully soon I'll have a 700R for it!

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

every body tell me the same thing (700r4) its the way to go i have no choice im going to get the 700r4 and i will sell my 350tranny on craiglist for like 100$dollars ,...

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

Nice score on the lic plate :metal:
So what are you gonna say ERB stands for ???
Educated Rebuilding Boy no Ummm Early Racing Block no Electronic R.... I give up LOL

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

1956 thats all i need

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

you can also go with taller rear tires, that will help bring the cruising rpms down some. i am going with a th350 in mine (cause i already have it) but drilling holes in the frame for the mounts for the 700r4 to swap in later.

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

what sizes ..?

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

well, i just saw that you were running a 3.73. it is going to be hard to make up for that with just tire. even with a 30" tall tire, you will be turning 3134 rpms at 75 mph.

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

even with a 700r4

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

700R is .70 overdrive, so it would be around 2194 rpm at 75 (3134 x .70).

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

i will do my best 2 get a 700r4....thanks

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..

Glad to see you back. Hey everyone needs to take a break. Mine sat for 5 yrs without anything being done. Sometimes you just have to take care of the things that don't cost anything.

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..

Re: here is my baby..pics 56chevy..
 

Well I've been moving right along on mine. Just got done making all the mounts and bagging it. I reworked the dash and center console. Had to fix a cracked frame and boxed it. Now I'm working on finishing the bodywork on the cab. I hope to paint it after I get back from SEMA. I'm still not sure what color yet ,hope to get some ideas there. I started a build thread, (56 project) but don't know how to link it to you. Check it out might get some ideas. If you need any help just yell. Oh yea how bout some PICS.
