What fun is a project if it doesn't at least slightly ruin your life?

Also, I don't recall if it got discussed earlier in the thread, but how well will the transmission hold up to the 350? I've heard the SM420 is plenty stout, but aren't we talking nearly double the stock output here?

The SM420 is a quite stout transmission. They were standard issue behind 327's (didn't make 350's then) for years in trucks. I've got one behind my 383 LT1 and aside from the lack of OD I wouldn't ever worry about strength. I've seen in the case. The gears are big.

To put it another way, Sims can leave the SM420 in there when he puts his [8.1/454/Detroit/Cummins/LS/whatever] in it as long as he's ok with the ratios. they're tough as gently caress, as long as it's in not-completely-hosed condition the L05 will not break it.

Hey 14, Merry Christmas man. Take a moment to reflect on all the rear end that you've kicked, and all the rear end that is lining itself up to be kicked.

A Merry Christmas to all.

I want to give a special thanks to Dave, who has really gone above and beyond what I think anyone could expect from a reasonable person. I mean, 3 cars, a fire, sub-zero temps, and being deathly ill. I would have given up long ago, but you pushed through and gave us one of the best possible results anyone could have expected.

Btw, goons who might be interested, PM me, I have an idea for a super special Christmas surprise.

Or email me if you don't have PMs

'Twas the night before AImas, when all through a field
Not a suspension was creaking, though the wind didn't yield.
The socks were flung on a fender without care,
In hopes that St. Inchmortan soon would be there.

When out in the field I heard such a clatter I opened the door to see what was the matter.

While peeking outside I saw with such ire
That inchclauses sleigh was indeed on fire.

The goons were posting all smug in their threads,
While visions of Thunderhorse drove through their heads;
And Danno out with wife, and Sims far far away,
We all settled down for a truck expose,

When out in the field there arose such a clatter,
And no one around to see what was the matter.
Away to the cab he flew like a jet,
Slammed in the key with all criteria met.

The moon lit the beast in the still-falling snow
Gave the lustre of high-beams to objects below,
When, what to all wondering eyes would appear,
But Thunderhorse with all eight cylinders near.

With a half-crazed driver, so lively and quick,
We knew in a moment it must be St. Inch.
More rapid than Eagles his daemons they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"GM! HONDA! AMX and VOLKSWAGEN!
FLAT RATE! WIRE! SPIDERS and FIRESTONE!
To the dick of the States! Hold onto your balls!
Now Drive away! Drive away! Drive away all!"

“A merry Christmas, Dave,” said the Goons, with earnestnesses that could not be mistaken, as they clapped him on the back. “A merrier Christmas, Dave, my good fellow, than we have given you for many a year. We’ll raise your salary, and endeavour to assist your struggling cars, and we will discuss your affairs this very afternoon, over a Christmas pack of 99s, Dave. Make up the tires, and buy another case of panther piss before you dot another i, Dave 14.”

And so, as Tiny Sims observed, “God bless Us, Every One!”
