i have decided that i really want to keep this thing as much original as i can, which means, even though it may not be the best, keep it with a 55 transmission. i want to beable to hold a magnet to it and say, yep it is all 55 under there, even if the 56 trans would be an improvement and weight savings (not trying to drag race it, like other people before me.)

Ross says that the very early production 55 had the non aluminum tail shaft too, which i have and goes with the production date of early March 55 for my car.

PortlanDon, PM sent, and man you are one gracious dude! i cannot believe the overwhelming support i have experienced on this board. you guys must want to see this thing roar to life as much as me to be offering such things for free!

i really just need a 55 transmission that with the parts i have and the new one, i can make one good one to use.

Turbo....that was what i thought. some dumbass trying to drag race it...indicative of my torched hole in the frame for the dual exhaust. OMG! freaking MORONS! thanks GOD i am restoring this car to it's glory days, surely it will treat me well when i am done......surely.

HH, yeah, now that you mention it it makes perfect since why the engine was so dang hard to start, cause it was trying to turn this shitty trans over with it. bastardos! also that guy with the motor/trans...it is a 56 trans.

Later dudes,

Hank
