Ok, Precision is on the way, should be Fri, Picking up trans on Friday.
We will finish installing the Dana 44 on Sat. We will also drill out the "C" beam to accept the Dana 44. We have installed heavy duty "U" joints. Fluids for the 44 will also go in Sat. On Sunday, we will install the transmission and converter, and hopefully have the car running late afternoon.

Sorry to hear this ! I told Ross that your car has some type of demon and feels the urge to leak from "somewhere" or all is not right in the world.Perhaps you should call your bishop for an "excorcizm" before you hit the track,we know that thing is possessed ! Best of luck,I know with your persistence and general positive attitude you will get it knocked out soon !

Ok, the car is home, running very good. The converter feels tighter. 700R is as built as it can be with the parts available today. And, here it comes, a Dana 44. As soon as Vince can give the car an exorcism I am ready to race. Precision converters claim a 1/2 second over the TCI converter. We will see.....

Bring them to the premier dyno day Sunday if you can. Vince, we should see what we can do with the black beast. I do wonder if the cam is just too big.

Should have brought it out. Fun night. Couldn't get a decent launch. Bogged, then spun, then bogged, then spun. Best was 11.46@125 with a 1.94 60'.

I should have. I am wavering again on the auto trans conversion. Its tempting to shoot for the stars with it,especially having the black beast as a street car.HMMMMM,decisions !!!!
