You should fix the LT1, sell it and then you'd have some cash. Get the cam in yet?

Nah, you could be swapping the cam out while waiting on the trans. What are you waiting for trans related anyways? You still not got the 4l60e back?

Im going to freshen up the 60e for the guy im selling it to. Then when i get the money from it ill buy all the stuff i need for the TH350 swap like the torque arm and the shifter and i believe thats all i need. I want the Hurst pistol Grip shifter with the button on the top. Well we are going to be doing the cam swap in bessemer at a shop so if the tranny isn't in there then my car will just be sitting at somebody's shop til i get the tranny done.

Freshened up did you not just do that? I think you should just stick with the 60e, no more than your throwing at it, it should be fine for a while. Just get someone who knows what they are doing to build it.

Billy built kents, and he's H/C/NX so we'll see how long his last.

Ya but a fully built 350 i never have to worry bout it , only worry ill have is the rear . Also the 350 comes with a transbrake , I also should pick up some time on the ET on the bottle with the 350 so thats good. Ya i heard bout kents car and i hope it lasts but i would always be worried about it though.

You'll miss the OD... Guess time will tell on kents car. If it will hold on his car it will hold on anybodys car. Hes hell on that car. Plus he isnt the brightest. Im about to do a directport on his car then Im finished with him. He tears it up again im not working on it.

sounds like youre going all out drag racin with your ls1 t/a...well maybe not, a little on the extreme side anyway. the lt1 could be the daily driver.

my 10bolt makes a slight little noise turning to the left but i havent broke it yet luckily. i could probably break one before you could.

No not a complete drag car just enough to get me there quick Nah the ole 60E is sold so its not going in there. I think ill love the 350 Bc its manual valve body so its like a M6 but an auto so i think it will be fun. Also has reverse and neutral lockout to . can't wait to get it in there.
