Longhorn, back on the "hydro"

[69 longhorn]

well, the old 383 is takin a good beatin on the 65-6800 shifts on that 6 spd(thrust main). the crank isnt kissin the main webbing yet, & will be running a 400 Turbo(the best that GM did). The auto trannies are a little easier on the engines, & I look for 2 or 3 more seasons of pure he!!! with that 383. the 400 t was a rebuilt trans from a parts truck(driven to the scean of destruction!) it shouldnt work too bad with 3.40 geaRS on a 29" tall tire im going mild on the next one, (just a good build on a 4 bolt 350).....square deck, tight quench, & good balance job. she will run the Edelbrock RPM top off the 383, with a smaller cam(sweet street) I have a couple "bites" on the Richmond.......that booger was lots of fun, but i have been playing the game for too many yrs! I am pushing 50 real hard, & too d@mn tired to piss with worn out or broken parts......just give me a d@mn smooth ride @ say 140 with no busted parts.....too old to "rock & roll", but too Damn young to quit..........crazyL
