Why?, you can not find a decent Nova for a decent price.

OK long and short....

A-1 Transmission out of Vancouver Washington sucks donkey dick. They soaked me for 3k for a TH400. yea it had billet shiny parts inside but they were all machined way the fuck wrong, installed a valve body that worked but had a severe high gear leak, it was killing clutches, bearings, etc. Tolerances were too tight in some places and too sloppy in others... Hutch Transmissions in Ontario fixed me up. I was out that way for work and was able to swing by and spend some time with him too!!

So with that said... there was a massive restriction in the transmission from eating material. Some is to do with inside the trans, others is when the trans was slowly killing itself it was also plugging up the transmission cooler. Which in turn pushed the converter into the crank resulting in wiping the thrust bearings out on my 150km new engine! (LS3 crank, k1 rods, weisco pistons)

It gets better.... the crank made love to the mains.

Oh wait it gets better... That LS3 crank...

Soooo now the new build started.

K1 forged crank, k1 rods, weisco pistons. Now Im gonna lean on it, magna fuel 4303 fuel pump, etc. 1k or Ill hang myself. #sleddeckproblems #berta!

New TH400 from Hutch Transmissions.

So then I also bought a 58 Apache off of my sister.. Wanted to LS swap it so I decided to use the old smoking 6.0l from chevelle. Was going to knob hone and re ring it, until I found this...

So naturally I found another piston... gapped the rings, honed the cylinder(#7) and now its ready to go in. I also sent my billet 76 to get converted to a billet 84... while they pulled the billet 76 wheel off I had them put that wheel on a cast race cover 76mm which will now go on the apache. lol

I also built a 9" for it, dutchman 35spline axles, mini spool and I think 3:50 gears. Summit disc brake kit.

A cool picture of the chevelle 6.0l(red valve covers), apache engine(middle) and a spare 5.3

Shitty luck man. I would be so pissed but I'm sure they put the blame on something you did

Fucking niggers. Onto bigger and better things. Hope the new setup works out for you. Still a cool fucking build.

Oh yea, they wouldn't admit to fuck all but as soon as Hutch went through it with me it was evident. Hutch spent 5 hours pumping fluid into the valve body trying to convince himself he wasn't the fucking moron. He called me later on and said my valve body was a butchered pile of shit and it is now located in the trash can hahaha. His support/knowledge is killer. The REALLY shitty part is when I first switched to a th400 it was hutch or a-1(friends suggestion), well I made the mistake and am paying for it! Live and learn.

Great to hear you're still around & still have the Chevelle. That really sucks about the tranny issue, I just hope the guy I used years ago is still working on them. He worked 16+ hrs a day on trannies for 9 months, then he'd take 3 months off.

Your car is practically the model I'd like my bird to live up to, going a little bit at a time. I think I can write-off a lot of the upgrades since it will be a combination show car & test bed for injectors.

My brother in law had a cumminGs with a smarty and toes 10k daily on 35's and flipped up tow mirrors. His trans went out at 150,000km, guy in Calgary built him a trans that would hold "1500 hp" lasted two Weeks, he went threw it again and it lasted three weeks, (keep in mind he works 10 hour days at 100 bucks an hour, 7 days a week and now can't work) then he was told he towed too heavy and to fuck off. Guys 300 pounds and benches 400 lbs like its the bar. I don't understand shit like that. I'd rather go broke then push shit out my shops door.
