Looks good!
Nice work on the pick up. You can search for a 518. It's just a 727 with an overdrive on the back of it. And you can run the OD via a toggle switch, or vacuum switch.
I thought about it but I'd have to have an adapter plate or an Ultra Bell for the big block bellhousing pattern. Not in the budget right now but maybe down the road.
Got the short block finished up today along with one head ported and back together. Hopefully I can get the other head finished and have them bolted on in a week or so. Lots of hours at work for the next 6 weeks so I don't have much fun time to spare.
Sad day today; my #1 garage partner Monica went home to Jesus. 15 years old; she was a good friend. :(
I feel for you mate.
It's always a wrench when you lose a pal.
If a 518 is a real probability in the future, you probably want to at least get the measurements on the OD section of the trans. They take up a lot more room than the skinny tail housing of a 727....you don't want to do the trans tunnel twice.

I'm not so much a cat person, but a pet is a pet is a pet, and they are all loved, and they all love unconditionally. This is somewhat of a comfort - The Rainbow Bridge Poem - The beautiful journey of a pet after death.
Nice; thanks, Roger.
Mike, I think I'm going to stick with a 727. I just picked one up yesterday, in fact.
Sorry to hear about your Cat. My dogs are my constant companions so to think of losing them leaves a hole in my heart.
Love my cats and dogs, and it is always sad when one goes home. If we are lucky another will adopt us and help to fill the hole left behind.
Thoughts are with you my friend...
Yeah, she was good one. Always listened to my complaints and never asked for anything besides a meal and the occasional belly scratch. I've got another cat and I can tell he really misses her; he's been crying and looking for her for several days. I'll have to get him another companion soon.
Finished up the heads today; should have them bolted on this week.
Nice work, and sorry to hear about your cat!
I got the motor buttoned up today; time to bolt it to the trans and start building mounts and figuring out headers.
Looking good. Your making nice progress Falcon.
