Need some opinions on next fix.
There are several things that I need to fix on the vette. Problem is, I can only afford to do one of them this year. I don't know which fix will yield me this biggest noticable difference. My choices are .....
1. New radiator with electric fans (current rad. has small leaks and fan shroud has a crack in it that allows it to make contact with the fan.) No current problems with overheating.
2. Complete rebuilt T-arms + E brake fixed.(Current E brake does not work plus rear end seems to shimmy to the left when accelerating)
3. Rebuilt Tranny.(current tranny slips out in 2nd gear and does not shift smoothly)
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks Again....

If you can pull the tranny yourself you may save enough to go the the trailing arms. You may want to upgrade to an overdrive tranny, I would.

Are you doing the work? #1 and #2 dont sound that bad. #3 could be a show stopper though. I'd get the trans done.
You can always throw in a cheap rad if it goes. Front Suspension should live. Tranny goes, well, "you're left sucking hind tit" as grampa used to say.
