Talking The new Proshifted tranny is in

lil over a week ago Jason and I brought my tranny over to Alan @ FMS so we could pull my tranny appart and learn WTF we were doing, found that i had killed some of the keys, Alan replaced 1-4 with proshifted stuff, and for some reason we just forgot to put the last 2 gears in.
i swear if he could put a tranny together any faster id have to video tape it and go back and watch it on slow mo.
it will click into all 4 gears without even using the clutch and seems to have no issues on jackstands. if this hurricane ever goes away ill try and put a few miles on it and see just how fast i can buz through the gears.

hoping to be ready for the new testing at the track soon.

Glad to hear you got the car running again Rodney but you still should've put a Glide in it... Hey I put some more rear gear in the car (4.71's) and it helped a BUNCH ...Now where is our good air at...

Good luck finding one-I've heard they are backordered. I was going to pm Madman to see if a tranny blanket would be ok-just for BG-b/c of the backorder prob. I'll def. have one in as soon as they are available-I like my feet!

I'm not 100% sure at this point. I honestly have not thought too much about the motor. My big project this summer is getting the chassis/suspension sorted out and then I'll worry about the engine. Most likely it will be a high-compression 348ci motor, naturally aspirated. I'll make a final decision in a few weeks regarding the exact combo.
