The reassembly begins!!!!!!!!

This Saturday Byron and I will begin the reassembly of the Red Rocket

My new transmission is here from Suncoast in Florida complete with new automatic valve body and new O/D switch as well as a complete rebuild, torque converter and flex plate

Piers called me last night to let me know that my new engine in ready for pick up A completely balanced 14mm studded, girdled, .020 over pistoned heavy valve springed, stage 3 cammed, double O-ringed engine with new nitrous system and water to boot This is going to be a fun season of racing now to finish stuffing some 17 inch wide slicks under the truck and go racing

I need to thank Piers and Suncoast and Randy's Off Road for all there help putting together this major rebuild of the Red Rocket in such a short timeframe
These guys have all bent over backwards to help me

and of course Byron without all his hard work we would not be anywhere near where we are with this truck I will have pictures of the assembly up on my website www.RedRocketDiesel.com
