Back to more parts gathering.
I ended up finding a shorty powerglide that was modified by Tony Rossi back in the day. The "Rossi" shaft plate is a nice touch in my opinion. This will eventually get rebuilt with a trans brake added and I'll replace the stock dipstick tube with a short locker version. I also need to get a current shield for it but at least for now I can continue with getting the drive line mocked up in the car, finish the mid-plate and rearend brackets.
Countn Carbs:
As I mentioned at the beginning of this build, Joe Umphenour was a huge inspiration for this build. Thought I'd share a picture of his second dragster. Still running a jimmy in D dragster but with a 120" homemade chassis. This car was featured in Rod & Custom 1966.
Countn Carbs:
Progress has been slow but a few things have been happening. I picked up a coupler shaft to go from the PG to the Olds rearend. Put it in a lathe and took a few inches off it to end up with .250" end play once it's installed.
Countn Carbs:
I also got the vertical rear end tubes cut and tack welded up against rear end straps. Coupler's end play moves easily from front to back and turns easily as well.
My final test will be putting the axles in the housing with the spool and turn the wheels to make sure there is no binding. Any thoughts or other/better ways to check this is greatly appreciated.
