ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!
« on: October 26, 2004 - 08:03:58 PM »
Today the challenger lives again! LoL
Motor is back in. The New ATI convertor is AWESOME! cant say enough about it.
Engine bay is much cleaner before (wiring etc) motor is very clean also. No leaks and a few problems fixed. Still have to get gears and axles for the rear ( cant find a 3.73 or 3.91 R&P for 742 case!) Before and after is a huge difference with this convertor, it pulls so hard and just lunges you back into your seat. I must have smoldered the tires a block long before.
My dad sold his chevlle today so we are going to start restoring his 340 4 speed 73 challenger. Taking the motor and trans out this weekend and off to the body shop! . Ill get pics of my car tommrow for you guys! So happy that its back. And no never ended up getting the Savoy, had a change of heart  ;D LATER-Nick

Nick, that's awesome news for sure! ;D ;D  I'd say you went with the right choice of body styles anyways cause you can never have too many e-bodies in the family! ;) ;D ;D :P  Ricers beware cause it's back on the roads again! ;D ;D
Like the rest, I CANNOT wait to hear my car running and driving under its own power again....Shoot, I'd be glad just to see it or begin to work on it again!  Why couldn't there be an engineering college closer to home? ??? ::) :-[
