Thanks for the post Ed; Enjoyable viewing while I had my lunch time "Union Jack IPA" (a Firestone Walker brew). Speaking of rides, since it's been in the low 80s out here, I've had the TF out on the road everyday. Headed for Mt. Rainier yesterday to see how the TF would handle on the mountain roads. On the very steep climbs, I had to have it in third and reving round 4200 rpm to keep up a decent speed, i.e., not holding anyone up behind me. The engine handled it all quite well, temp staid even throughout, so all and all, it was a good ride and test of the Skyhook tranny and the 4.3 conversion. Also, on the Interstate, at 3,000 rpm in 5th gear, I'm going exactly 60 mph according the my GPS.

John - now you need one of my superchargers, and you can march up that little hill in 4th!

Tom -- I have considered installing a supercharger, especially after driving in LaVerne's TF, but not sure of the fit with the dual exhausts manifolds that are on my TF. Your thoughts on a supercharger on a TF with dual exhaust manifolds?

John, my normally aspirated street performance cam will make a car perform as well or better than a supercharged car, I also have a supercharged street cam.

Len and Tom, thanks for the input/suggestions and I am giving both appropriate consideration. Len, Alex Waugh and I "TF brothers in arms" and he speaks very highly of your roller cam.

John, how long ago did Skyhook do your tranny? And, if I may be so bold, how much did you pay for the original tranny and where did you find one (ebay, etc.)? I've found a few on ebay recently but Steve is not available to convert one at this time. Feel free to respond via efhask at roadrunner dot com or here.
