Waiting on the finished product yet with much anticipation. Just have a few tranny questions if anyone sees it under this thread, if not i will start a new one. I do not believe the 4 speed saginaw that was in the truck will be satisfactory for what i want to do. I do have a couple of decent TH 350s laying around from the circle track days. Would it be wise to send one of them out to get looked over for behind this motor or should i be looking at other options? Truck will be a daily driver/street strip toy running both 1/8 and 1/4 mile. Also what will i be looking at to make the swap, cross member, tranny, torque converter, flex plate, shifter, and drive shaft, am i overlooking anything?
