skip white used to sell solid headers really cheap... looked like the above hedman's. I can't find them on their website anymore though.

NewType72 · 03-28-2013, 10:12 AM

I just need some that'll clear stuff like the spark plugs/wires dipstick and anything below them like the oil filter and starter but if they're sbc they should its not like they'll be that much different for chevelle no?

just the frame clearance is the difference, I have long tube headers for the elco that you can borrow and test fit if you want

NewType72 · 03-28-2013, 12:28 PM

Well I'm runnin long tube hooker headers now and eventually I'm going to go lower with the truck so mid length is my preference

Currently checking pricing on my crate motor so far jegs free freight to my house for 2,013 is the best deal summit is 60$ more. Gonna re quote at the dealership and then check best options.

Anybody ever heard of taking a th350 and lowering the drive gear 400rpm so that it acts like an overdrive? Then adjusting 1st and 2nd to shift properly? I might go this rout and save 1,000$ also trying to work a deal on a better motor 96-2000 base

I have never heard of this but sounds interesting. Is it something that is done at a shop where you're at?

NewType72 · 03-28-2013, 04:07 PM

Most definitely as far as the tranny guy is saying ill get more info this Saturday

It has something to do with the valve body and its the same guy we always take our transmissions to and I guess he's done this method on quite a few already with no issues. Honestly I love my th350 and if he can make it produce a bit better mileage I'm down for about a third the price of a 700r swap

Going to have to do a lot more than mod the valve body to change the gear ratio on a transmission... Def. keep us updated on the cost to do this though, I happen to have a 350 lying around that might otherwise be junk!

NewType72 · 03-28-2013, 07:15 PM

Right ill he more info this Saturday I'm chomping at the bit right now because I have cash money to buy everything if the projected numbers are correct shoot I could be doing burnouts at every stop light by Monday!
Posted via Mobile Device

NewType72 · 03-31-2013, 02:57 PM

Not much info gained. A few of these transmissions have been heard about and apparently they are a good way to go so probably leaning that way just to try it out and if it dont work ill stick my good TH350 back in.

As far as the motor goes looking less likely to get it because of seller's worries. Who knows maybe I'll show up with cash for it next saturday and he'll change his mind it's only been sitting around for 6 years + or more

On a good note trucks running just fine no leaks at all and the console and new/ol steering wheel are so comfy im starting to fall asleep zzzzzz maybe I need a little more peppy motor so I dont fall asleep at the wheel

It's Monday and it's raining. Hows the burnouts working out at the stoplights?

NewType72 · 04-01-2013, 12:00 PM

No burnouts this morning I did some donuts on my old junior high basketball courts
