My name is Kyle Patrie,
I'm a student at the Texas Maritime Academy in Galveston Texas.
I was currently looking at a m715 for $6000.
It has a 1970 Chevy 402 AKA Turbo Jet 400
400+ HP 6.3L Big Block engine, rebuilt transmission, and new tires.
In order to make it street legal, it needs the blinker box rewired or replaced, and wind shield wipers put on.
It currently has 5:8 gears in the axles so I was wondering if I could just replace them with a set of 4.65s to give it a higher top speed.
It has a few minor rust spots on it but nothing too bad.
I want to turn this into m everyday vehicle so I was wondering if this sounded like a good deal to you all or not.
I'm also open to any good part sites and tips on how to make this thing more reliable and fun.
Thanks a lot guys,
Kyle Patrie.
