So the quest for an 833 swap has begun slowly, very, very slowly as I insist on there being a Verti-gate in the car. Seems simple enough, right? I sourced a pretty good shape vertigate from market place with a Muncie (gross) bracket and rods. Cool, find an A body bracket, how hard can that be? Well, it’s no easy task. I searched through old threads/for sale ads and came up empty handed. Put out a wanted ad and wouldn’t you know it. Member
@Bobzilla came to the rescue. He was gracious enough to send a fresh NOS verti-gate bracket to people he’s never met and asked NOTHING in return. Enter my buddy
@TT5.9mag to save my bacon as always. He built an amazing copy of the bracket using equipment I couldn’t begin to comprehend. The quest for a tunnel rammed, slotted mag wearing, a833 equipped trailer park panty dropper is taking a momentary back burner since I hurt the motor in my turbo car and it HAS to be done for my wedding in April but that’s a story for another time.
After my long winded rambling I want to give a HUGE thank you to Bob and Mike. None of my ridiculous goals would be possible without people like them.
