Hello Richard,

I talked with Dave today and he told me that I could pick up my chassis next Friday. Do you think that a T5 trans. would be ok with running about 470hp and the 3.73 rear end.

Also I am very sorry to hear about Dave's Mom passing away.

Hi David,

The t-5 will be marginal with that sort of power. It will work, but I do not know for how long.

If it were my car, I would spend the extra 300>400 for a 3550 or TKO (With the .8 5th gear.)

Your chassis is at the powder coaters. I would think that Dave will have it at the shop the first of the week.

I think that you will quite pleased when you pick it up. Charlie really did an outstanding job on this chassis. (He always does a great job, this is just the best one I have seen yet.)
