I remember you talking about a different 1st to 2nd gear setup on the 700r4. were you able to convert or did you use a different tranny? Are you going to put some up for sell??

Looks good, makes me want to buy an early C4 and make it a track weapon. Oh how I would love an 84 Z51 and see how fast I could make a stroker crossfire, a real sleeper though

Wow, that guy said that engine had been sitting on a stand for 5 years. I don't know if I could stand watching a 406 project sit for that long without going crazy. I know, money (or lack of) makes you wait, good to see it getting started for him finally.

Sounds like it's going to be a nice combo, but I'd think about getting rid of that Fluid Dampner Balancer. They've got a bad name over on Speed talk. Good luck with your build.
