One More 4.44 in the world.
Well this week I started my "transfer leave" by flying out to PA to drive the newest 4.44 on the network to its owner.
Yellowbird (My mom/sponsor ), bought the car a couple months ago with a bum tranny. Rather than have her waste her money on another stock 4EAT I talked her into a 4.44 swap. She had a local mechanic do it, took him 8 weeks and 3200 to do it. But this was before Tom had his shop or I would've sent the work his way. Now its done and I fly out to PA to visit with a couple friends, watch Tom's stage 3 Dyno, get lost in Amish country, and drive the newest SVX in my moms collection down to MS. So far we've made it about 600 out of 1100 miles. The gearing is awesome for the highway! The car rides smoothly, well as smooth as it could with a ****ed up rim. The MPG is awesome compared to my 6MT... Just wanted to share my story with you guys. I won't be able to put up any pics seeing as how I left my camera at the dyno and Tom now has it.

Yeah, I know she got ripped. But she was the one setting everything up.
Off to finish this "Long Distance" test drive.

Thanks for your offer I actually enjoy working on my cars.. I have a lift,fridge full of beer,kerosene heater and an air compressor It would probably still be worth it for me to come out there and pick it up. ive asked svxfiles to keep an eye out too. i did find a rear for 150 but id like some guidance converting my first 4.44 rear
