It's been a long time
It's been a rough year and a half since I posted on here, mostly due to the economy and such. Dusted off the 47 a few months ago, took it out and blew up the TH350 in it Had my buddy rebuild a 700R4 with some good stuff in it and got it going again a few weeks ago. Took it to the 1/8 mile strip to have some fun on Friday. It hooked better than I thought it would, I was cutting 1.79-1.84 60ft times all night but the trans was shifting weird so my times were 8.20s to 8.40s at 84-85 MPH. Need to switch it over to full manual valve body now.
Here is a crappy cell phone vid of my first run at a drag strip in like 15 years http://www.flickr.com/photos/3963868...n/photostream/ I think theres more pics on that link, I can't ever figure out to post this stuff directly on here.
