Tranny/Engine Issues
I need help again guys. I got the car back from the exhaust shop & drove it to work yesterday & while backing into the parking space it died & wouldn't start again. I left it alone till I got off & it started right up. When I was pulling into my driveway it died again but started right up. The motor was makin a loud noise like either it was really low on oil or like the pistons were getting ready to go through the head. It has enough oil. Also, when I'm driving it feels like it's winding out. I'm in Drive but it feels/sounds like I'm in 2nd. When it died in the driveway it had this burning smell too. Any advice?

I don't have any emissions. I've got a SBC 400 & Turbo 350 tranny, Hooker Comp headers to 3" pipes to 3" MagnaFlow X-Pipe to 3" Summit Glasspacks w/Turndowns. The only accessory I'm running is power steering.
