I found older trailers to be a better deal all around. I was looking for a "heavyweight" early gooseneck. Kept my OEM list to Pace, Haulmark, or United. I was looking for finished inside, wired for 110 and 12 v, a/c equipped. Most older trailers that are well kept are worth the hunt. They...

This was/is a great thread. When I was in search of a 8.5, the ones that I bought were "rode hard and put away wet". It's all that was out there. And that was over 10 years ago. The first one was in a car that wound up getting stolen and never recovered. The second was a salvage yard take out...

Manual steering box with correct pitman arm. I'm near Atlantic City N.J. if it needs to be shipped. Local pickup is always an option. $100

Stock pump.

I figured I would get some flak about Andy. Paul Tester (Tester Motorsports) is in Fairlawn NJ. He doesn't like Andy either. But he does work on Oldsmobile stuff.

Andy Miller is 2 hours away. He did my iron heads. He is not inexpensive, just good. 845-369-9602

Drive over to Machine World and ask. Or go see Bob at Ace Crankshaft. I still think BBO heads are the way.....

I have run 7.5's behind hot small blocks and big blocks. Open, posi, and a powertrax equiped unit. The one that broke? Behind a 307 Olds ! Had 4.56's in it and a bit of wheel hop knocked teeth off the ring and pinion.

T/A performance. The original. For a 8.5, get the ARP stud kit they reccomend.

Paid $800 here on Long Island two years ago. The shop did the whole job, I just dropped it off and picked it up. For anyone nearby give Peter Burd a call at Moonlighting 631-563-8077

I still use the tech and FAQ topics over there. Learned a lot and bought and sold many parts there.

I love when these old threads comeback. I'm in the middle of doing a long time swap. I'm using all Factory harness, and I'm just having a heck of a time pinning out the c100 bulkhead connector. it's all good though I can't wait when it's done.

If anyone needs a th-200 BOP case I have one here on Long Island. It was behind a 3.8 in a Monte Carlo if IIRC.
