P.S the Canadian dollar is killing me right now lol

Tell me about it.. :swear: I don't think our American friends grasp the idea of us paying an additional 12% just for the exchange of it
I've taught you everything you know.....but I haven't taught you everything I know !

yeah it's pretty brutal when you first do the exchange then when you get to the border you get it again.

my $3700 dollar order turns into $4100 then add another 13% at the border for a total of $4600 :villagers: :pullinghair: :villagers:

can't even talk about it, just pisses me off.   bruce

The Cleveland area Craigslist has a front bench for a B body in it. I'd post a link but I don't know how.

oh ok, thanks for the heads-up I will check it out. I have been trying locally with no luck, wonder why they are so hard to find? I thought buckets would be worse but not the case.  thanks again   Bruce

yeah I agree chryco, I guess I should have been paying attention. 80% of my purchases were made when it was pretty good and the last big ticket item I have to buy is the alterkation.  My wife and I bought a condo in Puerto Vallarta Mexico a year and a half ago when it was pretty much at par and just last month we flew down with friends as they were going to put an offer in on one close to us, and none of us thought of the difference in money(mucho cerveza's ) and it is quite a bit when your talking that kinda money.  Bruce

Love the headers but looks a bit tight for the starter.

Hope this is just an optical allusion.  :2thumbs:

pay no attention to the bolts holding the transmission on, they are just temporary as I lost my originals and had to buy new ones.


yes HP_cuda I need to buy a power master #9523 with the adjustable head and all will be good. thx bruce

Wow! Looks nice!

What type of camshaft/specs are you running?

I would rethink the Alterkation , apparently the turning radius really sucks , you can do a lot the way Brad did it with mostly stock parts ,  I have not found a front end swap that really works 100%
