Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers

I've spent many a times just wondering about my 67 short step. How hard would it be to put a newer 6 speed auto behing my 472 caddy. just think, 6 areas of double rubber on the road.

I have only had one sleeper in my life. I took the 475hp SBC from my 80K20 and put it into an 84 Cutlass 4 door with trailer hitch, rusty doors and all. The 2800 stall convertor and 2.14 gears made it a real freeway burner. It would pass everything except Illinois emissions test.
