hey all Im from Connecticut im working on a 47 3100
here's some pics

Im going to try and put a 454 with a turbo 400 tranny
something a little different then I've seen on most forums.

Does anyone know what rearends work well in these trucks
I have heard that a 89 trans-am rear works good.
are there any other rear ends the work as well?

Also are the engines from these old truck worth anything
the yellow one in the pics is from this truck its completly rebuilt and has no miles
the guy I bought this truck from spent about 4800.00 on it then his wife got pissed and made in sell everything.

the blue engine id from a 40 coupe it was rebuilt in 78 and has about 30000 on it
with a 3 speed tranny attached.

well anyway nice to meet all of you!!!!!!
