Trans shield

Ok so we’re adhering to John’s 1987 budget…. So where am I going to get the $300 converter and $400 glide

I was lucky enough to get into glides years ago. My spare transmission cost me 250.00 with a 1.76 gear and transbrake. I had everything here to build my son a powerglide that would have cost him 250-300.00. He hasn’t had enough money to race for over 4 years so what did he do??? Had a 4000.00 powerglide built and a fab 9 inch. He won’t be racing his car again this year because of lack of funds.
