The trans is an auto but I dont want to go playing with the guts of one of those. How much would it cause to have a trans built for what you were saying BigJim? If its a lot, and i could get by reasonably with a 3 speed or 3 speed w/ overdrive i would like to spend on a carb/intake/rockers/etc.
Speaking of engine parts like you were talking about Reparebrise, i replaced the rotor, cap, wires, plugs when i first got it because she didn't fire well would replacing the entire distributor make a noticeable difference over just those parts? I have been looking at a holley 750 cfm 4bbl carb but that requires a manifold to fit it the 4 (my manifold fits the 2bbl rochester on there now) how to i go about finding a manifold that will fit?
Thanks guys this is great!
