Sorry to hear about your loss, sounds like a pretty tight crew around here I'm sure you guys will get it back together.

Thanks for the welcome man, I love it down here way better then NY. One of these days I will have to come out to the track, the only thing is I never been. I set the car up for it but really just always ran it on the street. Now that I'm getting kinda older and have a kid on the way I think I'm goin to have to start getting used to the track... These cops down here don't play and don't need no part of that. So probably see you guys out there sooner than later, but need to get a tune first....

I went through that hole ticket/insurance thing about 10yrs ago cant afford that any more, that sucks. With the cops and all I was wondering how are they on noise pollution?? Uuumm I come off my longtubs to (2) borla 14" bullets to turn downs underneath the front seats?? Probably gonna have to change that.... But as far as auto, kinda I have two trannys for the car. In the car right now is t56 that has some work done to it and in the garage I have a built th350 with a full reverse manual valve body and a trans brake. I need to get a driveshaft made for the th350 though then I can put it in...

I wouldn't worry about changing it.
Just keep your foot out of it if you see a cop.
A friend of mine has longtubes straight out to quad tips on his lt1
He bought it like that.
It's loud as hell.
But on the way home from picking it up he got pulled over and the cop said that they cant do anything about it except after 10pm

I'm a t56 guy.
Both fbodies I've owned have been t56's
Lakeland driveshaft is the place to go.

Thanks for the heads up guys and the shop advise for a driveshaft. I haven't ran the auto yet so I guess for now I'm still a t56 guy for now...

So I bought a house here in Lakeland a couple weeks ago and am finally moving in this weekend. Hopefully I will be able to get my 416 finished now that I wont be filling my gas tank 3-4 times a week driving to work from Titusville to Lakeland. That $400-500 a month in fuel I spent can now go back into the T/A. I miss my car its been down a couple years now.

Congrats on the move, I know what it's like to be without the car. I just got my car down here from ny after a year and half. You almost forget the way it pulls and how much faster then the dd it actually is (whoops that's 100mph, don't feel like it) but anyway again congrats on the move and good luck with the build and hopefully don't take to long.
