Glad to see you got the sound system done! The big test drive has to be close. Keep us informed.

Long story short Jegs sold the builder the wrong torque converter when sending the bell. We decided to build an 11 inch one locally.

Thank you. Now I need to get a wider bed to tuck them under the fenders. They stick out a bit.

Ok. Cool. I had a local place that built/ordered custom dayco converters for me. I liked that. Now I moved 650 miles away, can't find one good trans place. Glad I'm not building cars like I used to.

I really hope this 4 speed is worth the effort because I'm now waiting on a custom torque converter.

I'm extremely happy to say that the torque converter is installed. Monday is the alignment appointment.

Keep an eye out for the driving video soon. With that said any suggestions on insurance? Grundy quoted me $277.00 annually.
