Anyone here ever done a TPI Conversion on a C3?
I am currently doing a frame up build on a 69 coupe that originally had a BBC 4 speed, Engine and tranny had been sold before I bought the car. Frame and Birdcage was cancered out with rust. So I have a alot of room to work with, and build it the way I want. I have salvaged the interior, t-tops, front end,doors, wiring harnesses and suspension. Bought a super clean body, and replaced the frame. Both are Automatic ready, and am slowly sarting to go back together with it. Upgrades in the suspension from VBandP, where I have been able to afford it. I have alot of Under the hood BBC components that I am about to start getting rid of soon, to help finance the rest of the story. For those of you that might be interested.
I am looking at the powertrain now, and am torn between rebuilding a carburated/ TH tranny setup and going back stockish, or going with the later model TPI/ 7004r setup. I have access to both. Anyone have and nightmare stories they want to share? I have already had my share so far, but am committed to the project.
