Well thanks to the advice of this board my street-strip 700 is being built next week, along with three or four others.
Looks like I'm not the only one ordering this week!

Eric

 

congratulations on the purchase! I'm sure you will be more than happy with it!

 

Yeah, I am one of the others that bought one too

I am buying the heavier duty version with the ACT 2600 stall converter...how about you?

Just curious also what your engine combo is...

Thanks...

 

Eric you are going to thank yourself a million times for going ahead and spending a little extra to get the ProBuilt. I know you will be happy with it.

 

Hey guys, if it weren't for you I would have never talked to Dana.
I'll know more once I get the thing!
I am getting the street-strip, which is probably overkill for what I have but will handle future mods/abuse.


I am getting a 12" 2000 stall converter, the ACT 9 1/2 was more money than I could do so we compromised with the 12" I have a stocker in there now, and at 950RPM idle which is rough already from my cam it really lugs it down at a traffic light.


It's going in my '91 S-10 shortbed which still sees a lot of use as a truck, lots of highway trips, towing a boat, hauls drywall, deck building supplies and is used to test rear tire durability with driveway burnouts (I always joke that some hoodlooms are tearing up my yard)
The motor is mild, just an 8.6:1 355, cast flat tops, stock 76cc heads, Comp 268XE cam which is really too much for the current heads, Wieand dual plane intake, a quadrajet and HEI. THe truck wieghs about 3000lbs and with a 3.73 rear runs really good. I plan a better set of heads one day to fully use the cam's potential.
Desktop Dyno says 322hp/363tq, I think 280-290hp is more accurate.
The resident F-body is a 3.1v6 with 183 thou on what appears to be an untouched 700r4 that still works great.
