I've been pulling together the parts I need to sling the drivetrain into Murderous Overkill. Here's the new Stak 3-speed Monster Box being uncrated.
The Stak arrived at the office over a month ago, but every time I showed up to bring it home in my pickup it started raining cats and dogs. Even though it's way over-crated in a nice wooden box, I didn't want to have it sitting back there getting soaked for the 130-mile drive home.
It's finally here, as is the Dick Miller SFI flex plate I bought for the Olds 455. Now I've just got to get my hands on a Moroso drag boat oil pan for the 455 and I can get to slinging the drivetrain into the chassis.
Of course, before I do that I've got to go get some scrap steel to build a chassis stand to level out the thing so it's not sitting on the springs. That way I'll be sure the angles are all right with no settling of the springs to throw stuff off. I'm off to my metal supply place today. More later....
