355 for now. untill I get the tuning down for the boost.
Then I'll put the real motor in. Bowtie blocked 4.170 bore motor :) Roller Cam bearings, Solid roller Cam. etc..

Id rather not destroy a Good motor on learing the tuning curve on a big boost motor.

picked rear end up like that. Im welding on some LCA brackets also. so It can be used as a 4link setup for lca's

My car starts off in 4th gear then shifts to 3rd, then to second and wont go into 1st then because I am going too fast. Jamy and I swaped in the new 4L60E in the Formy and tried to use the 411 ECM to control it but the shifting is reversed. Instead of 1, 2, 3, 4 its 4, 3 , 2 , 1 LOL First time driving I was like HOLY SHIT this new converter is loose but I was starting off in 4th lol. Few minor bugs lol

Anybody got a shifter cable? I broke mine lowering the tranny done. Snapped it somewhere.
