The saga of my engine. Part 2.

So getting back into my engine post...several years go by...everyone thinks my cars running a 350 and everything is fine until my transmission starts to go out...my dad has my brother build me a 350 trans with a shift kit...now the problem is I have too much transmission and not enough motor...but everything is running fine so dad tells me that we are not going to do anything till something breaks...so I drive the heck out of my car for the next couple of years...I went to Temecula three or four times, Bakersfield once, Vegas three times...you get the picture...I actually drove my car...
