it's been awhile. so figured I'd update. this is how she is now back in the garage have to build a motor. The 350 got swapped over to carb solving all my no refire and dieing issues but I put in a huge cam, and stiff springs, didn't know you need light ones for break in so I ruined a ton of lifters and lobes, got in the bearings and all.
I swapped all the trans guts into another case to get rid of my cracked transmission case. I also did the dual feed mod to the th350 while it was apart. Now I'm just waiting on funds to build a motor for it, gonna be a 305 most likely so I don't have to buy a new crank.
