it looks like I should have introduced myself. I was looking for the weight of my 65 when I stumbled upon this form. Its nice to have a place where I am not gonna hear "It has to have a blower and a camaro subframe to be a hotrod."
these are from the day I bought it in 2005. the short version: the engine was running on six and would burn the tires all day long. it had traction problems and wheel hop due to the torque and general crappiness of the build. it was running a single point and after a LOT of trouble shooting (and different parts)I just went to a HEI. I never could figure out why 6 and 7 wouldnt fire I just replaced the engine. The tranny that was "all new" had the same quality as the rest of the truck and was burned up before i got it.
I planned on this being a project and a can of worms and I dont regret the money spent. I just wish the guy that built the thing in the first place would have taken a bit more time with it and invested in a gasket set for the front of the engine. what he did right is right but what he did wrong is a HUGE PITA... lol
its all a learning experiance and fun anyway right?
we don't like to use ths Cee word around here gets JC's blood boiling
