This is still a open subject.Yes I know.Everyone is saying don't do it.But for the Ole Yellar project I am spending extra for a internal balanced 383 for the option of a T56.And no a Tremic is not in the running for that.Fact is I have gotten so used to shifting my shop truck and love the control I have,there isn't anyway Ole Yellar is going to be a 700R.In fact I have two 700R's setting in the shop that won't be used.

You guys will be the first to know how it got done in a build thread for Ole Yellar. :supz:

I completed everything except the wire harness and running the exhaust. I got another project that had to be in the garage, so the van got sold before I was able to drive it. I really wish I would have finished it.....
