I'm happy for you, Dude!

With all the assorted problems #139 has had, (call it Fate, Karma, Bad Vibes, whatever, NOT Backdraft's neglect!) I figure #140 through #240 should have smooth sailing. All the bad stuff allocated for them has happened already to #139. (Did I mention that she was lost in the Bermuda Triangle from SA? Another story. Never mind.)

I recommend a 351W-based engine with a Tremec TKO 500 or 600.

I also recommend, unless you have mechanical skills greater than mine (most people do) and better eyesight than mine, that you contact a reputable engine builder and have them do a "turn-key" powertrain install.

You will pay through the nose, but they will probably do a shakedown cruise, or 12, dyno tests, many, watch your Baby like it was their first-born, and deliver you something you can love and trust.

I got Gunrack to drive, not to wax.

Welcome aboard.

Pix, please. Mine are... interesting.
