hemiallen Campfire Tracker H Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 4,235	Originally Posted by stxhunter tomorrow i'm taking it to my storage. i cleared out a bunch of junk to have room to work on it. decided to do the paint and body myself and take the 7000 that was going to cost me and put it into building a 540ci hemi instead of a wedge motor. Good call on the Hemi build. What transmission will she hook to the Dana with? I removed all of the no low band apply 727's we had after seeing some of them grenade from getting out of the throttle and back in it. Caltracks should work well, surprised you aren't going 4 link lime an Alston. Allen
