I took the Hot Rod  for a drive and got about two blocks and KA POW! In with the clutch and coasted around the corner. Lots of noise so I walked home with my tail between my legs! Chris  the neighbour had a strap  so we hauled it home behind his 1/2 ton.

Seems a tooth came off the input drive gear and took out the cluster second and lots of teeth. Looks like a loser in a bar fight. So am getting another together out of more junk I have laying around.

Anyone checked out the price of just plain old passenger car side shift boxes! Wow! I use a -78 case and car gears and an output from a 1/2 ton "open Drive"

Fatigue I guess as I baby this thing and only have 100 HP.
