I actually have a day off! My imputshaft and shim kit is in so I will take it over to Wicks so he can finish putting the Tremec toghether! In about an hour or so I will be pulling that old top loader out and seeing what (if any) mods I will need to do to the tunnel.

At this point the only thing I am seeing that I will need to do is some cross memeber work.

Also, I am looking for a Crown Victora P71 Alum driveshaft. If I am correct this is the one I will need.

Thanks guys! This summer I will have some more parties and it will be like a car show. I love having friends with old cars and Mustangs, people think we are having car show or shooting a movie over here. lol
I can tell summer is comming though.....I am already hearing the 5.0 and 4.6 cars launching infront of my house.

My friend has a 1970 twin turbo Camaro pushing just shy of 1000hp- that is always a spectical when he leaves.....

That's one of my all time favorite cars. My Dad had an original 64 Vert Red with white top, black interior, 427 2 4bbl, 4 speed.

Awesome car...keep up with the pic updates!

Project 64 Galaxie 5-speed done! The thing is awesome! All I need to do is put the center consol back in and finish the shifter handle and I am done! The car loves this Tremec.

4040 lb Galaxie, 390 stroker, Performer RPM Alum Heads, Tripower, factory 427 headers, Shelby roller rockers + Tremec =

Major props to Wick (Rob) for builing this Tremec. It was a basket case and he made it perfect!
