Update

Everything is going fast paced to get ready for HANGOVERFEST! Tranny swap is done. Went to start up the Formula 350 and had a small engine fire. Turnned out to be bad starter wires. Installed a new starter whip and knocksensor & pigtail. Starts and runs now but have ran into other problems that have not been diagnosed yet.

I can't wait to drive this car. It only drove about a block before the tranny puffed when I got it runnin the first time. So far only out of pocket expenses have been knock sensor, thermostat, gaskets, antifreeze, and tranny fluid. Parts from inventory...radiator, starter whip, tranny and tranny mount. Still need to swap interiors with a better one I have in the house!

Oh the tranny swap took 2 1/4 hours...I'm getting pretty good at those...even drinkin beer!

What do you think?
