    Trans. & rear ???

    I would like the 6 speed(auto) who wouldn't? But can't justify the cost, and don't know anything about a shifter set-up, for it. A 700R4 looks good from here($700.00, and the tranny place is up the street[just forund THAT out], but I was hoping to use the His/Her Hurst. There's a problem because it's a 3 speed and the 700 is a 4 speed(od). Won't be able to get manual 1st, but it will kick down(and also start in 1st). I'm doing some more checking.
    The rear will be a 8.5 GM, 3.73. Already have it, girdle and all, but would like to put some discs' back there...but I'll wait (about $800, by the time your done), the drums work well enough for now.

    Only the basics...

    I think that was wise only hooking up the basics. I'm not big on doing things 5 or 6 times(due to fabing) and having the same stuff in the way. I tend to want to get out the saws all, and let it do it's thing.
    Thanks,
    Bruce
