Was assessing the job today and decided to leave it for another time. Seems to be a bit involved but I should really do it, the fuel pump bowl is some orange/yellow colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibirdman Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Super cool wagon. I have a set of 14x7 and 14x8 widened steel wheels that would be the business. Send me a message if you are interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackeo21 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Cheers @Kiwibirdman for sorting me out with some wide steelies. These will be perfect for my wagon. Getting a balance tomorrow and that's the wheels sorted! Mint. He also sorted me out with a new 3 core V8 rad for next years motor swapping endeavor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackeo21 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Little something for next year. sbc 350. I'll grab a 4L60 trans I'm thinking, for overdriveness/keep revs down on the motorways etc? I'd like to keep the column change. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vk327 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 th700/ 4L60 ex vn vp commy or an 80s camaro fit quite well , iv got a built th700 behind an ls1 in my HQ sedan all hooked up to the factory column shift using a b&m cable able to get the full shift travel down to 1st I had to clearance for larger billet servo housing but not by much, just chopped up a factory crossmember to suit, running a 3.55 diff sits about 2200rpm at 100k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibirdman Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 For connecting the TH400 to the column shift use a cable as above. The factory cross over is almost impossible to get and really complicated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factory cross over is almost impossible to get and really complicated. This will have to be the go. I suppose I'll just have to make a bracket to mount the cable to the firewall and get a bracket to suit the TH on the other end, thinking it won't be a hard task all going well. It's all metal and all basic so I should be sweet. I even have the gas pedal with the kickdown switch to suit so things are moving quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackeo21 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Thank you Kumehu! 4 and a half hours of walking through a paddock landed me with a cheap TH400 and converter, which happened to be the only one at the entire swapmeet, 5 Qjet carbs, and some early 327 steel valve covers I had been looking for. Even grabbed 2 new mufflers while I was there. With the TH400 I'm now able to get my motor on the ground and start getting things together. I'll floor start the motor soon I'm thinking. I also need to clean up my diff and get that ready to go. Then the only hold-ups ill have will be with throttle cable and shift linkage setup. Other than that I'm hoping the swap can be done in a short amount of time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
