Re: Project Junkyard Dog
I don't see where you mentioned the transmission. Did I miss it?

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
For now its the original TH350, non lockup, with a rebuild and B&M shift kit. I plan on having it shift itself around 5500 with governor tweaking. The converter is a 10". Hughes part #GM40, which should hopefully stall around 3400 or so.
I am all ears for suggestions though... |

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
So the shift kit was a bad idea? There is time to correct this, so assuming I keep the 350, what would you do, converter also? Mind you I'm on a budget...

I WILL say that there are other ways to firm up the shifts on a T350, rather than leaving out the check balls and jacking up the line pressure. I DO need some GM interior parts from a Northern car, so maybe we can work a trade. I wouldn't have to check with the boss to do that. The converter is easy. Just ask Neil Smedley about our turbo converters.

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
I set the Super Stock / MA record @ 11.15 with a stock T350 and B&M Shift Improver Kit. Tried 1500$ lite weight - low gear- low drag - etc.... 11.20's

Re: Project Junkyard Dog
Well, things will get pushed back to August, so I might as well do things right within reason. Going to make the switch to a 200 probably, thanks Mark! Also, since I have a great machine shop sponsor and time, going to have the block bored .040 over (bought a legal set of pistons for $60!) and have the crank worked over as well. Things will be at an idle, but maybe some good deals will come my way and I can make some upgrades. If I find a cheap pair of 15x4 front wheels, I will switch to those and front runners, even if I have to change rotors (I have a 5x5 pattern now). Otherwise I am pretty much just waiting on motor and a final decision on trans work.
