Thread: No question-just gloating!

Well, I gotta find some car pulleys and pumps, and figure out what to run for a trans. The truck straight cut 4speed isn't gonna do it for me.Anybody got some used hop-up stuff? I gave all mine away decades ago. All I have left is a busted 505T cam, and a set of adjustable lifters.

R.Pope, what tranny you running behind the Chevy 4 popper? If it's a 3 or 4 spd, just get a Flatty to chevy tranny adapter from Speedway or Transdapt or whoever and go for it.

The four has a 'glide. I'm not sure there's room in the bucket for a clutch pedal. I see adapters for automatics are available, but they're worth more than I've spent on the whole car!

Ain't that the heck of it. So much of the items that would make it so easy end up costing an arm and a leg compared to what you have in to the vehicle. I am facing the same thing with my old truck on some sheet metal I want to replace, although I already got too much into the danged thing.

I'm wrestling with the same thing with the budget bucket I'm building. I really want to use the nice Chevy 3 speed trans and Hurst shifter I bought on Ebay, but I don't think I'll have room for the 3 pedals. I know they did it in the old days with '39 ford trannys and all ( like Kookies T) but it is going to be real tight.
