There is a 442 by my house that is about an '86. Is the trans and the rearend the same (or similar)?
The guy is stripping the car for parts and if there the same I'll go grab them.
I'll take it also. They have a VB, VERY ,VERY, close and would work well if needed. I personally would grab that trans asap. If you do pass on it let me know as I'm interested.
