Which transmission is in the second car? It says it has the 'glide and a TH400?

I had a 79 2-door. Had the straight 6 in it too. I dropped in a 350, but before we did, we decided to try and blow up the 6. We emptied the oil and drove it 60 mph for about 40 miles. Nothing. Got a little warm, that's it. So then we filled the crank up with water. A lot of steam and no seized engine. Said **** it and pulled it for the 350. Ended up putting the 6 back in 76 pickup when my buddy threw a rod. He ran that engine for about 2 more years with no problems. Those 250 6's were tough.

as for the ford, its a 1995 exploder, quite possibly one of the worst cars ever made, the heat is warm at best.. so is the air hahaha. weird noises the shocks are going. dont get me wrong i love it cuz its mine but shes more trouble then shes worth

My dad had a 95 exploder, went through 3 tranys. Of course, that could of been his make it to 60mph as fast as you can driving style.

Nova potential is UNLIMITED. That is a clean *** car for $1500, yank their arm off. You can build that thing over the next year into a monster. It may not be the perfect year, but it is a car with limitless possibilities.

yea as i was driving around shoppin for goodies. it hit me. i love novas, and jus cuz its a 4 door doesnt mean it cant be fast eventually. my friend jus stopped by and looked at it he said it was immaculate so idk i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder on this one
