Charlie, good luck with it. It'll definitely be worth it to have a close ratio fast shifting trans. This'll be a fun truck to drive. By the way, Brother's is having a decent sale on things through April I believe.

You do understand Charlie - if there are no pictures... it just didn't happen! :eek:
Watch out when R2 catches up with you! He's merciless...:LOL::LOL::LOL:
Dose he have a camera that works?? :LOL::LOL::LOL:
I think his camera works.... he just never seems to be able to work on his car..:eek:
at least that's what he keeps telling us.:eek::LOL::LOL::LOL:**):p
been there a time or to last three were chevy II s one with sbc with angle plug heads other two were bbc in chevy II s one with 2 3/8 tube headers after i was done i was in a padded room and took up basket making ...decided there must be a better way to make money... then building headers so i stop building them .not sure if i ever will be fully healed as i still talk to my self and sometimes i do not know who.s taking to me**):whacked:
yep, seems like oil filters, starter motors, steering components, oil pans, bell housings and header tubes all want to occupy the same space------
I don't build many headers/exhaust anymore because unless they are zoomies (fuelers) or side pipe type for open hood type cars--look at the 32 in my gallery-----and the amount of argon-------------------you can use up hundreds of dollars wroth of gas and rod and people want to know why something so simple as an exhaust can be so expensive------------
The last Chev ll that I did a clutch on for 406 sbc had an aftermarket front frame and I ended up using parts that I made go kart spindles out of as a pivot foeward on the crossmember with just a push rod thru the header tubes by the filter-------I'll look for some pics---
Really glad I'm not the only one having these problems It just goes with the job
I had similar issues when I put a 427 in my old 69 K20. I finally got the engine and trans in and then started modifying everything else to work. Man I grew tired of that project quickly. :LOL: I did get it done though.
yep chevy lls are just a warm up ford bbc anglia s are fun five pounds a $hit in a 1/2 pound bag. Car was fun to watch at the track never knew what it was going to do after he came off the trans brake Wayyyy to Hard he used both side of the track and ran over the ligths at the track :)
Mama brought home a battery for the camera last night. I'm sure there are a bunch of you that have been there before. But that's behind me now and once I get the oil in the pan I'll be priming the system. Have a good day guys Thanks for looking
Good linkage, Charlie!! Maybe a little stronger than the OEM, huh?
Thanks for the pics Charlie! It's looking great too...
OH, give the wife a kiss from us for remembering the battery.:LOL::LOL:
primed engine. Installed dis., cap and wires. Guess I better finish rebuilding the carb. With any luck I'll have these two parts back together next week:)
Nice work Charlie! At least the cab was out of the way to get that clutch linkage done!
Nice valve covers..i like them look like wide with less fin on the top look good. i did a car that a customer had a chromed Z bar and was running a 3 figher slipper Ram cinder bronze face set up in a Can. boy the Z bar busted like glass was Co2 shifted liberty after i made a new Z bar you could drive a tank on it and stopped bending. if he chromed it i was going to kick him in the nuts. wish i had photos of the car. was a 800+hpV6 it made that with the heads lifting . buick twin turbo car .you have a T 10 4 speed in this... see the iron side cover :)
