Let me know how well those fit. I ordered Right Stuff lines from Summit and they could have been a little longer but I may them work.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Supposed to start on rocker this week and then going to blast the cab. From there I think firewall and door jams are getting trimmed in and probably paint the interior. I hope.

Well if you still have the th400, I would see about getting it rebuilt and have them build it up. Might be more cost effective that way.

Can't help you here but I have a new TCI 400 that I have never got to use. The reason being that I had it on the garage floor at my old bachelor pad and then we got a big rain and my garage got flooded. Ruined and never got to use it. Still have it though. Maybe I will buy a rebuild kit for it and have someone put it together.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Your truck looks solid, that brake kit will def help in the stop department! You might want to look at a Trans adapter plate for a BOP engine to trans. I used one years ago on a buddies car, I cant remember if we had to use a spacer on the torque converter or not. You would have a lot more choices for a trans.

No need for an adapter, I have a TH350, and a TH400 with the buick olds pontiac bell housing, just looking for a good rebuilder at the moment.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Here's the specs on my 9" Ford rear end I have coming...

9" ford w/ 31 spline axles, bolt circle of 5x5
1/2x20x2" wheel studs
3.25 gear ratio w/true-trac posi
1350 yoke and strap kit (also sending a combo u-joint)
set up for stock drum brakes
spring pads and shock mounts installed on housing
painted black

This should handle my engine pretty well...

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Got the new drop spindles today, did you buy a kit for the other front end parts?

Man, you will be able to smoke those tires till they pop if you go with the BB.
