    I'd be happy to check it out if you want. I don't know hardly anything about boats, but I can definitely go over it with a careful eye. Or if you have a checklist or something.

    Or if you just want to fly down, it'd be awesome to grab a beer again. I know where most of the lakes in the area are.

    Silvy trannies aren't known for lasting, but I wouldn't bother with that swap

    IIRC, that is the 4l60E which is essentially a 700R4, so they are oretty tough unless GM did something fucked up like putting a smaller input shaft in the units for the smaller displacement engines, but I doubt it. They've always made pretty stout transmissions. If I had to pick a weak point, it would be the programming.

    the 700R4 and 4L60E are almost identical mechanically. they're decent transmissions, but abuse by a healthy small block (gen 1, 2, or 3) will kill 'em. they've upgraded them over the years. there are now 4L65E and 4L70E variants. If you want practically bulletproof, go with a 4L80E. Or a 6L80E. that would be sweet in a truck with it's ridiculously short first gear (4.xx)

    so at our weekly car show thing here in town, there was some douche in a white silverado playing his subs obnoxiously loudly. guess who's stickers were plastered all over it? SSA's. Congrats Aaron on enabling a prick.

    Adrian, red to match the pin stripe, or gloss or matte black

    While I hate black wheels on black vehicles, I would like to see the gloss black, but I would also do a red pin stripe around the wheel face.

    the red pin stripe would match the vehicle perfectly

    I might be building a first gen like yours, albeit a '68. The old man got one in today. He said it was in rough shape, but it won't cost me shit, so I might snatch it up.

    PICS!!
