OVERDRIVE!

Well I finally got tired of try'n to get a zf at a reasonable price and switch from my C6 to a manual w/o.d. and got a gear vendors that's in another truck right now. I bought a 76 chevy dually that has the gear vendors in it so I have to spend 900.00 more on the adapter to make it fit my c6. But i'll get to keep my automatic which i'd rather do. Then i'll put the chevy back 2gether and try to get my money back that it cost me by selling it. I don't know how much better the mpg's will be but it's got to be better than running down the hwy at 55 doing 2400 (or more)rpms. I only hope that I can have it ready by this winter so I can do some work on the stang for a change.
