Joker,

You are right about his wife. She even painted his garage for him. My wife wants to bring home more manure generating horses. Ugh!!

Bob, I have considered your recommendation. I think tomorrow we will start searching for sponosors. I am sure we could do a pilot program on this Chevy. Probably a whole season. Maybe his wife should be co staring too. She would certainly be a role model!!

Mosers found his axles this am. So they should be back in time for us to put the rearend together and on the chasis next week.

I have looked at the Chevy talk forum. It is loaded with information. Joker, thank you for suggesting it. If I understand it correctly, a T56 would require an electronic speedometer conversion for about $300 and different bell housing and possibly a different flywheel and rear yoke and a hydraulic clutch. The T5 from a V8, although much weaker, would be simpler. I am not sure that new tremec would readily be in the budget although it looks like an excellent choice. Well, had better quit for the night. You all take care.
