I don't think I'm going to have a choice! Pretty sure i won't be able to get it to pass inspections!!! Wish I could though it would be sweet to be able to cruise it around once in awhile!!

Progress????? I took my 6 days off and went to Vegas for the NASCAR race! Came home and finished getting adoption papers for my daughter going with the attorney!! I still haven't even got more wire for the welder so progress is NONE! And even worse I was in Vegas so needless to say I came back broke!!! Lol!

I know exactly how you feel my wife and I are expecting so my swap needs to get done and hardly any money lol. Any ways I'm running a '84 Chevrolet 350 with the muncie SM465 "granny tyranny" with a 208 transfer case in the chevota and the donor truck has like a 283 or some thing.

Lol I told her I wanted to buy an adapter for the vortec to a Toyota trans and she saw that its about $459 and its totally ON!!!! Then I figured out that I'm a bad ass welder so I'm making my own adapter. I wanted to have a 5 speed for DD purposes.
