Re: Maylene '51 GMC
Nothing new to post on the swap. Winter hit and stopped all progress. Tis the season.... But it allowed me to get the SBC over to the machine shop. So that's getting done. To pass the time I've been pondering the cab mounts, trans mounts, motor mounts etc... When I realized duhhh I do not have a transmission yet. Cruising craigslist I stumbled upon a few leads but none promising.(can't fit inside the wallet) cough cough. Until I found a crate 350 w/ turbo350 shift kit stall the works. No price tag though; called for kicks and may have stumbled onto a great deal. The guy just wants to make room in his garage. $300 for both. See my dilemma? Means I'd have 2 motors when only one is needed. I figure for mocking purposes it would work just fine. Mention both are in working order?? So my dream of having Maylene on the road by spring isn't far fetched....
Time will tell. Happy holidays everyone and a Happy New Year!!
