Re: IDEAS On A 49

[QUOTE=Slewis2304;4451279]Oh yeah lunch money will b saved! I figure the amount of time I need to call it complete will be around 3yrs. That is if life dosnt get in the way...lol. The biggest problem I have right now is. Wanna run a 350 with a 700r4 don't know what to put in the rear. Gotta find something out of another Car as I wanna save money. Any tips on what might fit?


Look for a early Camaro, or Monte Carlo, with a gear ratio around 3:50-1
Good choice on the engine, both of mine have 350's. I do like the 4 speed automatic for daily driving, but I still get a kick out of the 5 speed but it is becoming a PIA shifting and driving in the city.

As for the front end I sure liked the ease and simple installition of the Scotts Hot Rod IFS, much easier to install than the Mll.
Keep looking at the project section there is some excellent talant over there.

Here is a pic of the scotts IFS we just installed on the extended cab project we are building
