whats so redneck about it

**Captainfab** · 10-30-2009, 12:25 AM

You're making good progress, keep us updated. Do you have a different drivetrain planned? I see someone hacked a hole in the firewall on the drivers side. Was there something in there?

chevy283 · 10-30-2009, 12:05 PM

thanks. yeah i was the dumbass that put that hole there at 15 it seemed like a good idea not so much now. on the drivetrain im going to reuse the engine but put my tbi back on it it ran alot better. the trans is a th350 but its shot so going to replace it. I want to go with a 4 or 5 speed std but not sure if i want to go through all that trouble to swith it back.

chevy283 · 11-18-2009, 07:56 PM
