We did finish the next morning on the tranny. Mom was haveing a fit that niether one of should be getting oil and dirt in our wounds but man I needed to get that beast back on the road. I went thru 6-8 trannies on that car as well. Finding the parts to convert it to a stick was impossible. Well atleast if Joe takes over the world he will let us shoot all the tree huggers lol.

No but I was using rebuilt ones not used and my foot and my wallet had a lot to do with how much stuff I broke. lol
When I was young and dumb you know (kinda like you) I basically worked for parts between the ages of 13 and 18.After that I had rent and pickup payments along with all the other of lifes conveniences like electricity, things like that slowed down the parts carnage. lol

That stang had a 351w bored 30 over with an edelbrock 4" high rise on it with a holley 850. It would light the tires till they blew (15" truck snow tires) and the poor little c4's couldn't handle the power. Back then pintos amd mavericks were a dime a dozen and alot of them came with the c4. The bell was removeable so I would buy junkers for $25-50 and didn't worry about how long it would hold up lol.
