gearboxx70 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 307??? Man that's old. Those were new when I was in highschool. Yeah that's going to over double the engine weight and then you need the old Powerglide auto on top of that. Just imagine a fat chick on each front fender when you'r driving this thing around. Why would you need a powergilde? Any trans that bolts to a small block chevy will mount up. That includes the sticks like a 5 speed from a camaro. Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Mike probably knows that. The Powerglide has more race cred than the T56 anyway. Link to comment
jb1200 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I love V8 swaps but I would never do this to a 1200. It will be almost or as much work as doing a V8 RWD conversion to a FWD car that should be cut up (insert 93 Eclipse gs Widebody). Will you be selling the 1200 parts when the project fails? Failing is not an option in my book. Link to comment
jb1200 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 1200 vs Sawzall and the........................................ Sawzall wins! Yeepy Cars with this short of a wheel base and narrow track width have a much higher rate of not making it to the other end of the track when the back end gets loose, and then there wont be any fenders left for us to buy. Can you tell we touched a nerve here? Nobody has touched a nerve, I know actually what I want to build and how I'm gonna build it. Just remember whatever I saw off I can weld back on. Link to comment
jb1200 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Actual reason, a page or so back someone challenged him to start a build thread in the proper section. And he did. :rofl: Exactly!!!!!! :rofl: Link to comment
jb1200 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Mike probably knows that. The Powerglide has more race cred than the T56 anyway. Yes you are right about the powerglide but I'm looking forward to cruising the highway at 1,900rpm doing 85mph. Link to comment

My radiator comes in today and hopefully the engine mounts do too. Heading to a sheetmetal place after work to pick up a couple pieces to weld up the holes I cut out last weekend. Link to comment
