Hi Tom,
So how did you afford the super duty 421 motor? Was the straight axle out of another Pontiac?

Jim Christiansen told me that he too had to go that route because the transaxle on his(A/FX 749) LeMans finally went south.

These are great stories!

I was working full time and lived at home and would get used parts from M/Ts shop to resell and fuel the hobby.My car never had a straight axle.That was the car Jess built when I took mine back.Also had a small sponsorship from Bill Barry pontiac that was setup by Jess.Nothing free just the right price.Tom

Tom thanks for Stan Antlocer's info we have been in contact quite often over these past two weeks, he's really full of information and great to talk to. I bought the 421 SD parts from him as well thanks again!
