I remember a big block Mopar swap in a 66ish El Camino in a popular magazine back in the late 70s
Looks like I will need to get a trans pressure gauge.
Going to check the vacumn at the modulator,might hook up a gauge and take it for a drive.
If all I done was highway driving it would be no problem but had been thinking it was vacumn related and have it hooked to where it gets vacumn...
I have a C-4 that shifts as it should when cold but when it reaches operational temperature the shift points are a little delayed,when cold it...

I finally got to see this car at SEMA last year.
Those would work with the present tail lights,the originals are oval and will see if Speedway has a kit for them.

Did not know about the oiling so a 57 283 would work,what I was thinking is the early look with the early externals but with some added stroke to...
Been thinking if I were ever to put a V8 in my 37 Chevy p/u I could try to come up with a 56 265 and make it look like the factory 2 4 bbl version...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Custom pick up is getting closer to done,just waiting on paint to dry on the rims.

I could use this one.
I have two of those,came in a big batch of parts I picked up.
Still do mainly during the winter and rainy days in the warmer months,lately have been getting unbuilt kits from the 60s and 70s to build eventually..
I was able to cut out the pedal/master cylinder mount so a switch could be screwed in the trans so if anyone needs a two speed switch I have a box...
Seeing this car 54 where are you comes to my mind.
