Starting the 72 Oldsmobile Derby Build

The thunderbird has been moved to our new shop and we still have 1 week left to use the engine hoist at this place. So we will swap the engines on the Olds and change body mounts.

@BanditMotorsports77 Arizona. I found a Chevy 400 today in the scrap pile. Its was stuck to a old 327. Tranny looks ok. Small crack in the bellhousing. I love my new job. Only probelm is I find to much junk I want to bring home!

@kgilroy25 yulp 400 tranny with a 350 output shaft where you located maybe we could meet in the middle?

[kgilroy25]

Good luck dude. Give her hell!

@BanditMotorsports77 I count 6 bolts holding the tailshaft housing on. 375 have 4 like a turbo 350. Nothing is toast around here. If we break the case we just have our tig welder buddy weld it back. Too bad your in Ohio. I could use a some spare parts. And I think shipping would cost me more then what a scrap one would cost me here. Too bad one of your Ohio drivers moved here months ago. Maybe he could have brought it with him.
