      Can't wait to see the After Pictures.
      The before pictures looks like the car was stored in a coal mine.

          I love a good 350 Turbo Trans on the Expressway... Nothing sounds better than a V8 tacking 4K at 70MPH.

          I know.. Off topic.. But damn I missed my over driver when I ran a 350 for a while.


          Hope to see those pictures of the new Engine soon.

                Yep checked those already, they were fine. I was told to check the governer before I mess with the shift kit. I'm thinkin' something is f'ed up with the shift kit. Gonna go take some pics right now so I'll have them posted later.

                      just so you have a place to start just bypass the vacume modulator for now or cap it off...and run right from the trans to the intake... when i first bought my car it kept shifting at 5,800 rpm even at slow speeds took forever to find the tiny little pin hole in my trans vacume line...the 5 bucks for all new vacume hose is almost as good as a bottle of asprin... just so i didnt have to think about it anymore

                        Finally got some pics. It's alittle dusty and the pics are blurry, but gives you an idea. Hoses, and wires and just kind of wherever right now. Underneath of my hood is pretty dirty, I have to clean that yet.
