Big block and TH400 installed into the wagon this morning. Just gotta plumb it all out...fuel pump, radiator, exhaust, and hoses.
Then on to the rearend swap...out goes the original 2.73 open 10 bolt; in with a 3.31 posi 12 bolt. The trans and rear are out of the same car so Speedometer should be fine. Measurement will be needed for a driveshaft.

Plans to drive this to the Peach State show in two weeks.
Simple really...

Found a good deal on 4 chrome rims and tires for the car trailer today. Tires were only a few years old and were taken off within a month after the guy got his new trailer. Still have the nubs on the tires. Payed less then what 4 new tires were going to cost me. Off with the white rims.

Glad you found such an awesome deal. I need to find that kind of deal on a trailer.

Thanks Nancy. Used trailers are hard to find that someone doesn't want almost new price for one. Took me almost a year to find the one I wanted. The trailer should look a lot better once I get the new rims and tires on it.

I had a nice car trailer several years a go that I thought would never sell ,I was the 2nd owner and made many improvements over the years I had it and it finally sold for $800 ,you would not believe the lowball offers I had on it .I had one guy offer me $200 and he would take it away ,I told him for that little $$ that it would go in the pasture and rot first.
