I hear your friend crashed this car. What's left of it? Any good pics of it when it was done? Any pics after the crash?

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

How is the T350 handling the high RPMs?

The orange 4g63 quest at the shootout has been threw 3 of them because he said they can't handle the RPM's.

How is your torque converter mounted to your car? is it a custom one or the buschur unit?

I think what he is trying to say is: "Read the thread and use the search button. Everything you need to know is already posted on here somewhere."

I think what I'm trying to say is that I'm lazy and it will take me 2 days to read all of this crap.


Hows that?

The center guide into the flex plate looks smaller? You dont think that will be an issue?

I got a chance to see the buschur convertor out of a car in the shop and i fully agree that it shits the bed.

But, even with the guide the same size the bolt areas looked worn out.

also, we are trying to come up with a way to use the chevy ring gear, opening up plenty of cheaper options for convertors and higher powered/faster spinning starters.
