I'll post more pics of everything tomorrow possibly.
Does anyone know what I'll be looking at when I go from the 700r4 to the th350 in my truck? I know the cross member needs to be moved up. What about the speed sensor will the existing wires work? What all am I looking at here?

Thanks for the compliments. No actually the guy that painted my truck is picking up the Nova and rebuilding it and dropping the 454 from the Nova SS in there.

Keep in mind it still needs to be lowered 4/5 and new wheels / drag radials. It looks like a freshly painted farm truck right now.
