Sad time of year, isn't it?

We are fortunate in having a parking space in the garage right here at home so we can drive the car right up until the snow and salt fly. Then the car goes away until spring.

OK----It's done!!---I now have a 200 4R trans and 350CI Crate engine in my C3
I bot a kit from "B&M" to lock up the converter. I swapped the intake and carb so I now have edelbrock on the new engine. Trans bolted in perfectly! Lots yet 2 do. Garage is a mess!

No, Small things yet to do. Like exhaust, tranny lines ,starter wires, rad hoses and I am waiting 4 a bracket 2 hook up TV cable and throttle. Now that it's in I am in no hurry 2 finish. I was hoping 2 clean up the engine compartment but it was 2 much like work. I did paint the frame a bit. but U don't C that with the engine on top of it! I was pleasantly surprised when I found that if I removed a small part of the frame where the trans mounts ---it would bolt right in! No need 2 work on the driveshaft---an easy swap. I lifted engine and trans together---from Vette and Monte. Painted the mill and swapped exh manifolds, cause they dump in different locations---now have old ramshorns back.
Nice job Bob! Did you shoot any pictures of the progress?

Hey Riley----Sorry for no reply. No excuse
I didn't take pics ---I was so involved in the swap that it controlled everything I did. However---I took her out 4 a spin a couple a days ago---and---She runs like a champ! Goes like a scared rabbit. I sure am pleased that I did the swap.
Cud only time the engine by ear. My light is on the fritz. Maybe the spare bat I was using didn't have enuf juice. I couldn't get enuf spark lite 2 read the balancer. Ask me bout the hole in the trans pan.---the one that shuddent b there!
