Just pick up my Salon from the transmission shop. Needless to say ... disappointed. Stays in first too long...then shifts from 2-3-4 too quickly...ughh....somebody tell me where I can get a good transmission that will do what I want it to...like stay in gear under hard acceleration and shift smoothly during normal cruising. Maybe the rear gear is the problem....Ive never had such a low gear in a car like this before so Im not sure how the trans is supposed to act, but Ive driven a few SSMC's enough to know how they should behave with a low gear and a 200r4. Any suggestions?

I removed the saginaw trans and mechanical linkage to make room for either a 200r4 or 700r4 automatic.

Put new cap/rotor/wires/plugs on the 86, replaced the HVAC fan. Cut out a trunkfloor at the salvage yard also for the 86 Monte.

Nice Meats. Did you notch the frame to fit them in?

No. I installed a C4 Corvette rear end into my Regal, and added the GNX flares. No notch, no other mods. 17 x 11.5" rims

I like those rims they remind me of the old ARE rims I had though they had an all gold center, with all the ugly flashy rims out now it's nice to see something with actual style.
