Talked with my buddy yesterday. He is 110% serious about buying it, we now have an agreement in place and are moving forward with it.
This build and the previous Turbo Dart build was a combination of our blood, sweat and tears. There were plenty of whiskey and pizza fueled engineering/design discussions at the shop that made it what it is. We both have the same vision for this car and its a HUGE relief to me knowing it will get completed to the level it needs and deserves. It means all our time and my money wasn't for nothing.
We both agreed that the build progress needs to continue in this thread.
I plan on keeping this thread alive so it doesn't get archived.
My original plans were to put a 408 in with a newer 4 speed automatic transmission.
His plans are to put a newer 6.1 or 6.4 in it with the 8 speed transmission. I like his plans better. :)
I'm guessing the steering linkage will have to change to fit one of those motors in there.
Denny, he will have to contact you to get the different motor mounts.
To summarize: The project is still alive, just delayed while transferring ownership and location.
