Re: Your Daily Driver
Mark, do you know anyone who still does "converters" for Dualrange Hydros?
I'm building a 324 Olds for my '49 Ford and want to keep the Hydro.

Re: Your Daily Driver
Tom, I haven't researched any of that stuff yet.
Mine works okay for now. If the Hydro craps out , I'll probably change the engine to a 400 anyway.. Can't bolt a 350 C or 200 4 R to the early engine.. I'm sure I can build one of those for a lot less than than the Hydramatic. After you get used to the modern transmissions , the old ones aren't that much fun..in my opinion.

Re: Your Daily Driver
My daily driver...towed the Pinto all the way to Belle Rose last March with a 15.52 dial on the truck and a 15.65 dial on the race car...probably the only person there who had a tow vehicle quicker than the race car it was towing...
2011 F-150 with the new 5.0, has run 15.30 at 90 mph and won me a wally at the National Dragster race in Sportsman class at Indy last year. Now if I could just win in one of my racecars instead of my street vehicles... |
