Will do, and thanks for all the replies/info!

Ok so... I've decided I'm going auto with the car. That means all the manual parts are going for sale. I don't use PayPal or anything, but if anyone is local and interested, I'm selling the st10 2-line 2.43 1st trans, science friction billet flywheel, ram clutch, blow proof bell, fork, rods, z...

Seems that way haha, the old 4 speed sounds like the input shaft bearing is howling a bit so that's in need of attention too though.

The crappy 60' was on slicks too, it would just bog then pick up, I think my q jet was just not tuned at all right, the secondary air flap was opening too quick or something. Just with the edelbrock it's a world of difference how much more powerful it feels, I imagine with a well tuned q jet it...

Maybe it doesn't mean much, but I attached a pic of my edelbrock, I machined off the choke horn and smoothed it into the bores, I was originally going to use it to try out a blow through set up on a ford a while back. It's jetted quite a bit richer than stock, the car seems to rip with it on...

The carb I just pulled of was actually a 1980 800 q-jet, it was a chevy one though I believe with the fuel inlet facing left. I did adjust the apt screw, rebuilt, and richer secondary rods. It was just so worn out, put the edelbrock on there just to be able to drive It. I'll have to look into...

Thanks! Same here though, trouble with not being born a millionaire haha. Even buying the tko, with shipping and making a new driveshaft will be 3k easy. But gotta pay to play I guess, could probobly buy about 10 t5's for that price and keep them in inventory haha. Btw i know your year is a...

Turbos, :drool:, thanks again for all the replies, much appreciated!

Pic of my bros engine, I think it's from an 89 skyline, rb2.5det, car moves and revs to like 7500!

Not sure if pics are working but I tried to attach a pic of the 355 olds in it

Grass is greener is always the case, but both trans have their place. I say anything performance and old school like our cars is a million times cooler than a new mustang, camaro, or challanger (while still cool) that your grandma can drive to bingo haha. My younger brother has a 73 240z with...

Right, forgot the bigger servo in my post, pretty weak without that. So it's looking like best for the money is the tko 600/ 3.73 or 3.55 gears. As for the governor though, id use a hurst ratchet like with the th350 so id just manually hold it to desired points. Thanks to all who posted so far...

I had a tuned q jet 800 myself, the day before the track I went to tighten the secondary air flap spring and it broke of course, so I put a return spring on the secondaries, as a band aid, just to make a few passes, the edelbrock is much more responsive. I haven't had a chance to really rev it...

Thanks for the replies. The tko for sure is the easier swap, I do love the 4spd now, but I also miss the launch of the auto and the ratchet shift with the th350. Driven, my 1st now is 7.8:1 total and it's kinda lame, I can imagine the 10:1 would be perfect, plus od rules, I've driven a couple...

Also I should mention I'm putting in 4.10 or 3.73 gears, depending on trans choice

Hi everyone, first post, been reading the forum for a bit decided to join. So my car is 86 cutlass, I built a 72 olds 350 for it last winter. It's 9.6:1 comp 7a heads, schneider cam ([email protected], 270adv) headers 2.5" exhaust and edl 600 and rpm intake. I put a 4 spd in it also it's a super t10 with...
