I'd like to share some pics of my other rides. Hopefully within the next couple of years I can move to place where I have enough space to build the building I'd like to keep them in.

First up is my daily driver 2012 Ram 2500. Its smarty tuned, deleted, and running on 35" Pro Comps. I've got a leveling kit thats gettin installed within the next few weeks. Gets 17 mpg highway at 80mph. Cant complain there!

And next to my burb is what was supposed to be my summer project. A 1979 Trans Am thats been in storage for the last 20 years. No rot anywhere! Just a little surface rust here and there that I'm taking care of. Originally equipped with a 403 and TH350. Has a rebuilt 350 and now 3:55 posi. New leaf springs and shocks all around. Should be fun once the trans is back in. Paint is original and will need a good cut and buff to be as bright white as the burb, but its clean. Scoop is off so it doesnt bang on the hood while the tranny is out.

I like the Trans Am. So it's got a Rocket 350, and you're keeping the TH350? A BOP 700R4 would be cool, but I understand wanting to keep it original.

Rocket is Olds.

Well, I figured since it had an Olds 403, he kept it Olds instead of doing an SBC and having to adapt it to the BOP bellhousing. I guess it could have a Pontiac 350, but I thought these all had Olds motors in them.

I would of did Pontiac not SBC. Pontiac made way more torque as did Olds and Buick.

For now its keeping the Olds 403. I want to leave her all stock for now but I love would to have a mildly built Poncho 400 with a 4 spd overdrive trans. The 403 puts out a good amount of torque in stock form but that's about it.

I threw the word LS swap out at the wife and she gave me a dirty look. I should've never sold my Skylark!
