Took me seven years I mowed lawns all summer long for two summers, saved up birthday money, and bought it when I turned 13 for $700. Worked on it on and off for 7 years and got it on the road last summer at 20. This summer I blew the trans, and therefor its off the road again. This time a 4speed is going in it. Its really killing me that I cant drive it too much this summer, but hey what can ya do? My "freshly rebuilt" th350 wasnt so good and "fresh" but thats a whole nother story. Thanks for the compliment.

a 350 trans is not very hard to do, what is it doing or not doing , lots of trans have just had stuck valves in the valve body or gov ??? or it has a bad convertor seen that lots as well , after an overhaul seen it lots of times if it was all re done its cheep to fix ?????? can help and we in my shop have spent 100s of hours on stuff as well only to have something someone else did not work jz |

to me what you have explained its all in the valve body and or a combo of linkage adjustments --- the lever sounds to be out of synk to the shifter mech, seen this before, not something a regular guy would see but i will look at it, we these days only do powerglides as i do more real racing stuff but can help and will jz |
Okay once I get that piece out I will get in touch with you. I have a feeling its got a combo of problems (Most likely not only linkages) but more like converter/valve body like you said. The trans performs like a stock trans, but has lots of problems. Like I said I dont want to get into the whole thing of who built this trans, but when we talk in person we can discuss this problem. Thanks John!

Back to topic, but backwards, I guess...
Last September: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...930lf014er.jpg Last Month: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...N_IMG_2274.jpg Now at least there are all new SS hard lines + hoses and calipers on it to go with the IROC 12" 1LE rotors & Porterfield pads. I still have to do the rear brakes (backing plates half blasted) – all new parts & Porterfield shoes. I really want to nail the brake pedal! My plan was to be done by June 1. Now, if it isn't road ready by Labor Day, even more comes off. And that will be after I finish my garage floor, which this project has put off too long. Between the HHH weather & upcoming vacation, I am no longer optimistic to be driving this season. Plus my compressor died with parts in the blast cabinet – ones I need soon.. Oh well. Can't cry over it, I guess. That compressor is going to cost me my Xmas 2006 TKO funds .:angry: Maybe I’ll go buy it this weekend and install it next week. Can’t wait to go in the attic to run the 220 line when it is 1000* up there. Edit: I had to make my pics bigger to match all of yours... |
Well, its not a resto lmao, but its a project... turning it away from any other stock looking 4th gen.
