Smart move to buy one trans and converter that will work with future plans.

Not really sure actually, but september/october was the way it went last season so I am assuming the same (and if worse comes to worse, I can delay a couple weeks so I can see it all ready to go

ran into a snag with the block this weekend! damn it! after removing the pistons i found a scratch in #8 the full length of the cylinder. so know comes some scat rods and crank and a new set of .030 over pistons. gonna deck the block and change to main studs as well. such is life! just when you think your ahead... pow! take a step back and regroup...
