Good news, torque converter kit is coming tomorrow. I got my new carb, chain and air intake today. Built a custom exhaust and got it painted with high temp rust o lem. Also put on so 18" wheels. We shall see how she runs tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the help and advise!

Hold up; what size tyres were on it?

Changing tyre height will change gearing...

They were 20x11-8, new ones are 18x8.5-8. Went from heavy nobbies to street treads. The torque converter I ordered is coming with an 10 t #40 sprocket .

Got everything hooked up and took it for a drive, runs good but guessing I have a mis alignment because my belt flipped over when I went wide open. Will add a spacer tomorrow and see if it fixes it.


Side note, I feel as if she got over 40 mph but I have no real way to test the actual speed.

Down load the app so you can use your cell phone to check your mph

On that note...
You should fill in your location...

I like "That Racing Channel" on my iPhone.

Made a spacer and everything is GTG! Will try that app out once the wife returns. I have downloaded it but can’t go full speed with the youngsters and can’t leave them home unattended. Will try and get a screen shot once I do. Thanks everyone for the advise and help and input!

Ended up putting a 60 tooth sprocket on the axle with 10 on the TC and 18” wheels. With the app I got a max of 41 with a 39 average in mph. Over all I say for 300 bucks and about 50 man hours of work a little blood and a lot of sweat this little project came out very good.
