did you change torque tube and gears?

Sorry Phil,

I've been "out of pocket" for a few days. I replaced my TT, M6 and Diff with a Z06 drive train. I had Ed move the hardened left shaft from my old rear to the Z rear. Roger - OBXFUNN - just happen to have the stuff laying around down in VA Beach and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Brian - COBRA4B - is now running my 3.90's in his vert. 12mm TT and the M12 - I'm good to go. I realized last weekend I need to replace the bushings in my shifter box. I've got a HUGE amount of play.

I was searching 427s, and came across this old thread.

How's the car running

The care is running GREAT. I pulled the downtube to check intake for oil. I'm running vent off the valve covers - without any baffles. The intake was bone dry. No sign of any oil. Blowby has to be negligable - if any. :thumbs:

I'm slowly working my way up to taking it over 3500RPM. It's scary fast even at that. :crazy:
