bus is the trans sit up for the 3:31 gears? i have a 408 big block with a 700r4 in and 2:73. if the trans aint sit up for the rear gears it will seen different compare to the 350. i had a truck trans(400) put a shift kit in it and u couldnt feel it shift any.

rob there show be a stwich just above the gas padle for the kick down on the 400. there should be two wires i believe there r orange and black which runs down to the trans. that should be the only kickdown for the 400. no cable need since its a elec kickdown.

it is mostly know as the cross flags the one in ur pic looks to be on a vette of the late 60's.

the only thing u will need is sheet metal to fill in the hole where the power window wires run in other then that it will fit in with not problem. unbolt the power ulit and pop it out the track and bolt the mechanical window in the same hole.

had a set of 15x10 rally wheels with 295/50 on them 5" backspacing had to trim the quarter panle lips a lil. now im runin 16x8 chrome rallys with 255/50 on the back. if u can find a 15x10 rim with a 4" or 4.5" backspacing u might not have to trim the quarter panle. the 15x10 that were on my monte is on a 57 nomad and we cut the spot welds and kncoked the hub out about a .5" to 1".

find a ss dash and put that in the car to save the time might cost a lil more but at less it will be in the right spot. on a ss dash the tach goes where the big gas gauge is on the dash now. the ss dash will have a lil gas gauge which is under the water gauge.

yep thats the same welder i bought to do somein welding on my dads 57 nomad it runs very hot and keep blowin holes in the panels. so we took it to work and took the companys miller which dont brun holes in the panels. so far the only probably we have ranned into with the lincoln weld pak 100 is that it needs a 20 amp breaker 15amp breaks blow.
