Re: 1970bowtie's SWB build thread
this string of luck im having lately is no good. replaced the motor with the crate engine that i have, its new so i had to break the cam in. that went smoothly. next day drove to canton and back to cash a check and picked up a fuel filter because i knew i would need one. sure enough truck started bogging, stopped changed the filter got back in fired it up and it sounded good. dropped the ratchet shifter down in to drive and no go.. wtf? something happened to the trans have no forward gears or reverse. guessing the pump went out.. im seriously thinking about putting a blue oval on my truck... because its fix or repair daily....
