Event Coverage Poison Ivy is safe and sound

Got the Merc to a resting place till he can find a trailor back home...

 

I'm already on the hunt for a FI SBC and 700R4 or 4L60. I think I'm going to quit driving to Texas. It"s cursed.

 

What did I miss? What happened?

 

I'm not entirely sure ....... come to think of it I have no idea whatsoever ....

 

Sorry I couldn't get down there to help ya. All I could do is say a prayer.

What happen?

 

Transmission started making noise around DFW area...made it to Waco and had to have it towed to Austin. Dropped the car at a friends shop and JK will be picking it up next week.

 

Cool ride and bad luck.

 

"Bad luck" is my middle name. The 1-2 planetary decided it was time to GTFO. I'm getting a crate 350 & 700R4 as soon as I get my wagon sold.

 

This thing's nailhead powered right now, am I right? If so, DIBS!

Seriously tho, sorry that you're having issues.

 

Sorry I missed you and the car this weekend. As much as I had once thought I would like a 56 Olds motor I have here in my "someday" Merc, the car I bought has a sbc and 700R4 and runs just fine. This weekend was it's first trip out further than 60 miles at a stretch and got 22+ mpg and smooth running. I don't think you will be disappointed. An vintage "cool" motor has a nice effect when you pop the hood, but when do you do that on a Merc?

 

Sorry Fraz, a friend of mine had dibs on that motor about 10 seconds after I finally got to the fairgrounds. Looking at the prices of GM crates, I may have to sell it afterall.

 

You can sell me the Merc and I'll let you keep the motor
