Re: 70 Shortbox Chevy 2wd considering a GM 3800?

For a transmission, I am thinking maybe 4th gen Camaro/Firebird. S-10 4 cylinder and 2.8 V-6 transmissions will also bolt up, but the F-body came stock with a 3800.

Would you happen to have a link to that build? I would love to talk to him and see what he had to overcome to make it happen.
