I pick up the trani on Mon or Tues ( completely gone through....new second/third and all synchros) Larry's should have it all back together by the end of the week. I saw the engine on Fri and couldnt stop snickering.......bored 10 over, custom pistons, hotter cam,Alum heads, fully adjustable valvetrain....oh man I can hardly wait. Id like you to see it when I get it back ........hang in there.........

I was tired of it leaking ...engine and trani......so I took it to Larrys Engine/Marine for a little rebuild. While it was apart we decided to go with Alum heads, hotter cam, JE custom pistons, and Crane adjustable valvetrain. I took the trani over to Lloyds differentiial. They replaced 2nd .3rd, all synchros ,bearings, and resealed it....should have it back this week. Ill give you a call when I pick it up so you can see it...........Later
