So we got all the rat s t out of the car and tried to figure out what to do next. we decided the drive line was in order. Another good guy Phil (the birdman) gave me a straight 8 263 out of a 53 Buick. we drug it out from underneath a fence and took it home. now what to do for a transmission. i figured out if we are going to cruise around in a car with no seat belts trying to kill ourselves why not go fast so we contacted the good guys at Bendtsen's transmission adapter and they led us to a T-5 five speed out of a Chevy truck. they sold us adapters bell housing and everything to go with it. it came with instructions so when we finally read them it went together perfect. Of course we had to fabricate new motor mounts, new transmission mounts, a way to mount the emergency brake handle we are going to an open driveline which is a chore in itself, ill go into that later
