cool. just some advise, that im sure you are already considering but dont buy the crap like nitrous stuff, until its in and running.lol. just my 2 cents. things will add up so fast you wont know what hit you then you will have half an engine and a immobile car. anywho, good luck, id love to see pics. and any specs on it? 383?...heads, cam etc...?

Street or Strip? 4.10 gear sounds good for the strip. Good luck with it!

My '69 had a powerglide, and in traffic it was not too bad, but on the interstate it was obnoxious
