Thanks Kev, already got 'er on "watch".
A little update on the STS project: The AOD-TU project is on indefinite hold, since I'm moving to Wichita at the end of this month.
On another note, since the AOD-TU is on hold, I have another idea that's going to be realized sooner, and will be able to handle the torque output of the 374 that Craig an I configured..... I have recently acquired a T56 that is going to go in the Pat. A manual trans with a double overdrive, plus the ability to handle 450+ lb-ft of torque will be more in line with my idea of a "Sports Touring Sedan", anyway.
As for the AOD-TU, I'm not stopping on it, just putting it on hold at least until next spring.
Here's my new junkyard jewel, that will be turned into a "Packup", by using a Studebaker p/u body on the original '56 Packard frame, with a mild 374 and the AOD-TU. Whatcha all think of that?
