Re: "Half an inch off" (budget) rockwell build

First time this rig has went to the gas station to fill up.
R.i.p. propane.

And right about here, you can see exactly where I ran out of talent...

In my back yard.

Don't you hate it when you get a French guy stuck on your rig and you can't get him off?

Nice clutch
I believe what my good friend who is better at manipulating tubing than words is trying to say is that, after I made him adapt the LS, against his will, to the manual four speed. I rode it for 2 hours and realized that was a bad decision. The four-speed work flawlessly with the small block Chevy on propane and Rockwells. However with the higher horsepower faster revving LS the manual is not ideal.
It's going to stay in there for a little while because I'm tired of not being able to ride whenever I want.
So in the near future there will be a four-speed and built 205 ready to hook up to an LS for sale.

So you are saying there is a reason that the 10s of thousands of people who wheel an ls have an automatic transmission for a reason? Damn, it's like someone else already figured that out for you and you weren't having it :fish:
 
Is this where you want to be when Jesus comes back?
Kicking a man while he's down, after he admitted he was wrong.

To be honest I just like things really simple. LS motor and automatic transmissions are not really simple I'm having trouble to adapting to this new century.
