Well i originally thought it still had the factory gear in the car until i opened it up. Then i was having hell changing my sig. I was finally able to change it last night.

Well im not to sure as far as the power goes. after next season i will be pulling the motor back out and building at least a 383. I just got tired of looking at it sitting in my garage so i put it back together and save up some money for the bottom end.

With a 383 that 10-bolt won't last too much longer..keep that in mind.

i figured that. By that time i will through in a s60 or 9" im just talking about right now with the top end done. I can always turn around and sell the stuff locally when i swap the 10 bolt out for something better.

well just figured out last night when i was getting ready to set the lash and crank it that the machine shop gave me the wrong measurement when they measured the pushrod check tool. So now i have to order new ones. Then its just a little bit more wiring and setting all the angles and tightening up all the bolts on the suspension. Still waiting on UMI to deliver the rest of my suspension parts, tunnel brace w/ driveshaft safety loop and the trans crossmember with the torque arm relocation bracket. I will also be ordering their drag bar but i need to get it all together to bring it back to the transmission shop to fix it since they agreed to fix it considering it only had 3xxx miles on itt when it started slipping. Then off to the exhaust shop to button up the hangers that have to be modified now.
