I GOT HER BACK TODAY I must say WOW I had no idea how much power my Y Block still has in her I guess she was slipping all threw out the gears the guy “Tim” awesome guy full of knowledge and all around cool guy knows about his Y Blocks. Found out a couple things about my car he had shown me a part from the transmission and how it was pretty much beveled about 1/2" and the brass internal clutches were thinner than a sheet of paper. He was surprised I made the voyage to his shop on that trans. So as I drove back the 30min I drove pretty conservative by going the flow of traffic for all of you that don’t know what that is in California LA area when there’s not much traffic your average speed in the fast lane is 80mph and man she had so much more to give. The whole drive train felt so solid like never before, so Thursday I’m going to do a compression check and if its alright I’m just going to work on the heads and change the cam and chrome up a couple things instead of a full rebuild. So if you are in the LA area and you see a couple burn outlines it could be possible that I laid them down!

the transmission guy did some sort of work to make it shift hard than a usual trans and yes it does have a new torque converter i don't know the stall but ill find that out tomorrow and what he did to make it shift so sweet. yes i do know how to shift the transmission and do often for fun. I'm going to work on the compression check then go from there i do plan on taking the engine and trans out, 1 to patch any holes on the fire wall smoothing it out 2 replace engine mount and 2 to clean my dirty dirty engine/ repaint it
