yeah, then pro would be forced to build an even bigger engine for Superbeast!

Yea, somebody'd have to twist his arm to build a bigger engine.

Hmm, you swapping a manual tranny out and putting an auto in. This seems strange for some reason . . . not quite sure what it is . . . maybe time for a little blast from the past.

Well, its more neccesity really. Its got the conversion that takes the shifter off the column and replaces it with a nice Hurst shifter on the floor. I'm not a small guy though, and it totally crowds my right leg out. Feels kinda awkward shifting in that postition too. Only problem with these EB's is that there isn't much cabin space unless your a small guy. So, with an auto I can use a cable shifter and put it wherever I want. I may go with an AOD instead of the C-4, we'll see. Like I said, I probably won't get to that untill spring.

Oh, and Ivan? As funny as you think you may be, just remember who's roof you'll be sleeping under in a weeks time...it would be a shame to wake up decapitated

yea no kiddin! mine is considered a half cab which they came with a partition to split up the bed and the cab and that was the first thing to come out, lol. i am a bigger guy than you (width wise, lol) and i think i'll have enough room when i am done. i'm thinking of putting a rear seat in my 72 so that i can haul friends if i want but that is really gonna take up some space! i have had my second thoughts about a rear seat.

does yours have a rear seat? if so does it fold & tumble/remove?

yes, he does roll and tumble when hes drunk, whats the point? back on to the question, at least youll have a place to sleep when you blow it up racing some riced out vette in the middle of nowhere.

Yea, mine has a rear seat thats setup so I can pop it in and out pretty quickly. I hadn't thought about a column shifter, stroker, but that would sure save on the floor space. Oh, and thanks slash

Drunk? Raceing? Me?

I don't know I smell the perfect excuse to build a bigger engine for superbeast, like Pro said he was gonna do, I mean afterall I need an excuse to upgrade my little junk to some real HP. So shove that 514 into the bronco with a C6 behind it, and actually build a motor for the beast already, and lets get this going.

Edit, No Skpped links engine doesn't count as an excuse he cheated and went with a blower.

I'm still tempted to call about that 815ci JK Hemi you sent me the link for Rob. Something like that would do nicely in the Bronco I think.
