Awesome new episode of Hot Rod Garage. Has anyone seen it? Diesel in a 70 el camino claiming 1000 ft lbs of torque. I thought of that before but not in my budget or skill set. My other ideas are race car or farm truck. I am wanting an overdrive transmission. 700s are common but you have to shorten the drive shaft and modify the crossmember. I already have a lock up harness and throttle bracket from the one I had in 2012.

That's what I had before. It quit in the middle of the road. It was likely the cheap remand converter that came with it. They gave me a different one on warranty but we had already put the old 350 back in and I was too lazy/leary of the OD to put it back in. That one was $700 six years ago. They are high now and most leave out the converter, speedo gear, dipstick, etc. Its extra to ship it to the house. Monster won't warranty it if you don't have a core/pay the core fee.... I am eyeing one on eBay. Its $1700 but comes with everything but the fluid and has a 700 hp rating. Plus its green. Free shipping and no core charge if i pick it up in KC. I have a week off this month if i could get it here by the 19th. Almost had a similar one bought locally but lost contact with the guy a month ago. I already spun a bearing and had to redo the crank and rods in the 350 so need to keep the RPMs down.

Got a fraud alert email. Did I just buy a transmission? I am supposed to get an email so they can custom make the unit to fit my car and have the right torque converter. It says billet pump and GNX (buick) grade parts. Complete with dipstick and TV cable, etc.. I can't believe the others don't even have a speedometer gear. This might even have an upgraded oil pan.

In a perfect world.. I would lift the body off the frame, put in the new transmission and body mounts at the same time. Getting a new frame/doing a complete restoration would be more perfect. Need to contact them about when it will be delivered. Listing says three days, ebay says tomorrow. They say it has to be built after being ordered. On staycation the week of the 19th so need it by then if I am to put it in myself. Still need to decide if I want to do timing belt on the dodge myself or not. Need to order parts if I do.
