Yesterday I took my 53 out for the first time. Took it to the DMV to have inspected and get tags. The rearend gearing is my next issue to address.

I am going to the "open drive shaft and mid 80's Blazer rearend" on my 46 that is down to the frame. But, the 53 is looking and running too good to take apart all the way back to the motor right now. I also want to keep the 3 on the tree. Finding donor rearends and trannies is way too hard around here as well as time consuming.

If you have done the 3.55 Patricks swap, please fill me in on all you can.
