Default goodbye t56 hello 200r4

Well I have offically gone soft,after abusing my 12 bolt last time I am now
changing to auto.I bought the setup from a board member here ,and it was
built by Century transmission with the good parts and a transbrake.Should
leave ok with a 3600 converter a 275 low gear and 430's in the rear.Lots
of learning to do as I haven't raced a auto since 1976.I'm gona keep the
t56 around in case this thing bores me to tears.Any tips you can share
will be appreciated.I have no clue what shifter to run.

Uhmmm... I'm not sure I would have admitted that myself!

I like the B&M Pro Ratchet... pn 80842. We have installed several this year and all of the guys we do that for love it.

Happy Holidays!

Laugh it up sucker.... at least I won't be shoveling snow this Winter! As a matter of fact I don't even own a snow shovel.

And my race tracks are still open as well.

Funny you say that you don't own a shovel. While on my recent vaca a guy down there said he has never had to shovel the sun! I found that to be pretty funny. Then again when it rains or snows they almost have to shut the town down. You know I'm just funnin with you nurse/secretary Ratchthed. It is 15* (0* with the wind chill) here today and yesterday when I left it was 60*. Oh well welcome home!

Oh yeah... it's all good Vinnie!

We are fortunate to be able to get test hits in most every month of the year. Which means we break **** all year long... LOLOLOL!

Oh... and one other thing, I just finished grilling some Pork Chops on the grill outside! A little chilly, needed a windbreaker and my sneakers. But not too cold to drink a cold beer and hang around outside.
