Doc

Wow ...someone who really DIVES-INTO a project !

Is this your first one like this?

80VDuster

Ya sure is, it used to have a slant 6 in it but i blew it up when i didnt know absolutly anything about cars than started learning by dropping a 318 into it had to change the whole k frame did that all in shop class then i got bored one winter and decided to rip the whole thing apart then it sat for 2 years and now im finally got some money saved up and gunna start working on it and do it all properly. And ya the dip was kinda pricy costed me about 2500$ but theirs not a speck of rust on it anymore

Doc

What are your drive-train plans ?

80VDuster

8 3/4 sure grip outta a b body if i can find one half decently priced gears 3.73 or somewhere around that and get a 727 rebuilt

Doc

Stay away from 3.73 gears. This is an aftermarket ratio ... that is famous for wipe-out.

80VDuster

what are some good gears to look for than? want something that will pick up fast but be half decent for driving around too

Doc

I would go with a 3.5 or 3.9 gear. And STICK WITH a Mopar gear.

80VDuster

alright ya that sounds good, would a wrecker be a good place to find the whole rear end and the gears? well obviously i guess the whole thing but is their a way i could find the gear ratio without ripping it apart and find if its sure grip or not by checking the vin at all or would i have to rip it apart to find out?

Doc

Wrecker ?

80VDuster

auto wreckers, automobile salvage, wrecking yards, big yard with lots of cars old and new

80VDuster

Just an update on the car got all the patches done now just the bondo and the fun body work its all been undercoated aswell those pictures are still to come tho

Doc
