Thanks Don...I kicked the ground a little and gave a few four letter words to the walls, but in the end it is what it is...happened for a reason. I can also use the other tank for something else....maybe an emergency fuel storage for hurricane season. I called and talked to Caswell and asked...

Rough estimate, but your rpm at 65 - 70 mph will be around 2300 - 2400 with the th350 with 3.08 gears and 28.5" tall tires. This assumes that your truck isn't very heavy. Other factors as well like rolling resistance, cam, etc, etc. I say stick with the th350...the 3.08 might not be enough...

Trust me the advise is needed when it comes to that kind of thing...thanks for the input on it. Nice work on the all the plumbing...looks great! Keep it going...you're almost there![cl -Troy

Mine is 34x15x10...22 gallons. Can't wait to fill it up for the first time! :D -Troy

Find out what gear you're running than go from there. Here is a calculator that might help. http://vexer.com/automotive-tools/speed-rpm-calculator -Troy

Not sure that the cam and heads will flow enough for the for 12 psi of boost. My guess would be around 450 - 500. -Troy

I would say stick with the th350 and maybe get some taller tires for the long trip...maybe pick up some used treads? Changing between a th350 to 700r4 for one trip just doesn't make sense to me. Just my $.02. Are you guys going to Bonneville this year? Or 2013? I'll be driving out this year...

Round Two...Ding, Ding! Ok...second tank is done. Test fitted and all is good. The sealer worked just as well the second time a round. I know the pictures are a bit repetitious, but I promise to have more progress pictures up soon. I'll be breaking things down this coming week to get the...

I have some sheet metal work / body work to do then I'm going to paint it. More than likely a flat/satin deep red...like Buick Red. Still not 100% on it...might do two tone with black and deep red. I'm going to attempt to drill out the oil filler hole myself...did you have any issues with it...

Ty, What did you use to drill out the oil filler tube? I've got to do the same thing and I would normally take it to the machine shop for that. Thanks, -Troy

Looking good Ty![cl Keep the pictures coming. Looking forward to seeing this thing on the road. -Troy

I got the new tank welded together. Still waiting on my second round of gas tank sealer. Speaking of, I thought I'd give a little review of the brand that I'm using. It's made by Caswell and it's a two part epoxy. This stuff seals pin holes and cracks. The working time before it starts to...

For a guy that loves Fords shouldn't you be talking about a 351 and a C6 transmission? :D As for your transmission and rear gear question it really depends on what tires you run, the cam and stall speed. 700r4, TH350 or TH400 and a 3:50 - 3:73 gears will work with a basic stock setup on the...

Happy New Beer....oh I mean Year! :D I hope everyone had a fun and safe time last night. -Troy

Rodney, Such a terrible thing to happen...my thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends and family. -Troy

CORPO, Ty and Rodney, Thanks for the props! I'm really liking the headers. I ordered up some flanges to weld on. They are going to work out very well. Unfortunately I suffered a big set back with the fuel cell. I finished welding it up and got the sealer in it...even pressure tested it...

Welcome to the site. You'll be glad you registered. Lots of people here with a great amount of knowledge to help you out. -Troy

Haven't tried them yet. Still getting use to using it. I think I'm going to hook up some kind of electric drive with a foot pedal and give them a try after that. I think it would be impossible to do without a second pair of hands. -Troy

Thanks Bob! :D I feel your pain Ty...but it's Christmas so its ok! :D Thanks Mike! You know I was going to put up a thread about that very thing once I figure out my route. Maybe stop and meet some of you guys as I go...that would very cool!:D My Xmas present to myself was HEADERS! Had...

Mock up looks great![cl[cl One suggestion with that 429 under the hood....buy your tires in bulk!:D Keep up the good work and keep us updated. -Troy
