Does it cost just to get your car in to those Power Tour shows? I saw something about 80$ per car. I won't be going if that is the case It would be too much gas already just to get to the closest one.

Check out the link below. Your question is answered in BOLD as well...

What is the price to enter the Hot Rod Power Tour®?
$80 is the price for Pre-Registration, which ends Wednesday May 21, 2014. After that, registration can be done on site for $90. For that price, you can be a long hauler and go the entire route, or pick up at any point and go to as many stops as you wish. Pre-registration is available from the link at www.hotrod.com. Full price registrations include a vehicle window sticker, credentials for two people, chances to win valuable nightly giveaway prizes, and one goodie bag. Additional passengers are not required to register unless they would like to have their own set of credentials and goodie bag. We do not need your co-pilot’s name when you register! One day registrations are available and will receive a vehicle window sticker and a license plate frame. Registration for one (1) venue only is $30, and is only available at the event site on the day of the event at the Registration trailer.

I was thinking of just driving down for the show. There is just a show area that you can just park your car and walk around, correct? Would that be the 30$ price?

Correct.

I could probably do that then. If nothing happens I will be at the one in knoxville. Are you planning to be at this one 74Malibu383? I would really love to see your car in person and anyone elses for that matter.

I'll be at all of them unless it breaks.....

I am going to start getting all of my parts together this week for the engine rebuild. I am also about to talk to a guy about a transmission. Maybe I can get it real cheap. He thinks it is a 700R4. I hope it will work. will I need a different driveshaft for the 700R4. I am currently running a TH350 with a long tail shaft. The driveshaft has been shortened. Also will I need a different flywheel?
