    Mine's a 350, 355 HP, 700R4 & 2.73 gear.......... Good for the highway at 70 - 75 MPH. Not as much fun at 45 MPH.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got around to "cleaning up" the area behind my seat. I used some 1/16" polycarbonate/acrylic type sheet plastic for the big panel and shelf. Cut the shelf part and screwed it down, then used Velcro on the big panel for the bottom and middle. After I got it straight and level (before...
