Hey Markus - Is that M-20 tranny of yours a 'wide-ratio' as opposed to the M-21 close-ratio ??? :crazy:

By the way - NICE vette - I like the red paint job ! :D
(actually, everyone's ride is pretty darn kewl...) :chevy :chevy :chevy

Oh, I forgot about the M-22 "rock-crusher" which is a heavy-duty close-ratio ! :)

Right here in Humble...workin' away on mine. I hope to pull the engine this weekend with some help from my brother. Then clean things up a bit (frame & engine bay), drop in the 415 SB and 5 speed TKO just in time for Spring/Summer!

Don't embarass the others by asking them where they are from. :nono: A true Texan will let you know where he is from. I'm a native Texan, lived here all my life (I lived in El Paso for six monhs but that does not count) :confused:

All my life, minus about 18 months working for Uncle Sam. Would't live any place else (except maybe Colorado in the Summer, but since some of Colorado used to be part of Texas) I guess that sort of counts.
