Looks like I'll be building an 85 grand marquis for this year. I need to gut out last years car, cage and whatnot. I'll need to put the body on a newer gusset frame 90-91. I'll keep you posted.

might need a new trans,c6 forward gears are acting funny. Hesitant when I put into gear.Almost as if it were slipping.like when I get to the top of a hill it almost lays down.Reverse is flawless.
thoughts ideas?

Try some Lucas I put that into the tranny I had in my Monte Carlo before the first run because it was slipping 4 runs later it is still working perfect

It might be the new shifter.I'll mess with it when I finish putting the rest of the car together.Today I backed off all the detents on the shifter and it feels much better.I wanna get my radiator in and whatnot b4 I get the motor too hot.

I dont think the shifter would make a tranny slip IMO
