    It came yesterday and brought me:
    *New gears(4.11)
    *new timing light
    *New seatbelt harness(2 years...out dated)
    *"Hughes" extra big tranny pan, man that is a NICE looking piece.(y)

    Got the gears to run 1/4.
    I ran the 1/4 at the round-up last year(car was WAY de-tuned) and have not been able to get that speeeeeeeeeed out of my mind. Plus I am going to do a little street cruising and the 4.11 will be a lot better than the 4.86's.

    Man, I will be glad when my old heap is done being painted!!!!!!!

    Sounds good John, I won't be able to change gears out before the roundup.......i'd like to just get a seperate center chunk to have laying around so I could swap out the 4.56 to a 4.11 anytime I wanted to.....doesn't look like it's gonna be this year.....

    However, I do have the front end work finished up and I've got my new brake system installed......including a new aluminum master cylinder!! I'm taking it to the alignment shop today to put a "good" alignment on it!!!! (y)

    Hey Steve, somewhere out back, burried in the leaves is a 9" that came out of versailles. Its like 2:50 gears and a tracklock. (nice highway gears). It definatelly needs a total rebuild but I'd let it go cheap if your interested. With the power you make though, you might want a "N" case.
