If there was a show class for "Freshest Loctite" I'd be a contender this year.

My trans is undergoing a righteous buildup & getting a mix of GTO and Vette components (bigger mainshaft and gears, nicer synchros/blockers) plus the usual hi-po pieces like billet keys and bronze shifter fork pads.

The trans comes back on Friday, goes in Fri night and Saturday. Sat evening cruise to the Chatterbox is my shakedown, and Island on Sunday is break-in mileage.

The guy who's building it is coming also, look for the black IROC with the evil sounding big-cube TPI engine.
