Where u been? What's happening with your ride?

Agree with fstfish66... that trans is a bit scary for my taste, I have heard a bunch of negative items about its sturdiness. Yours is used... Plus with that weight on the front end I would look into rebuilding the front-end with a Firm Feel kit or similar. Have Fun.

Thats what I thought too...

Dude, you are gonna have to cut the hell out of that engine bay for that 5.7

You can have my 8 1/4 small bolt pattern from my '65 barracuda for 50 bucks... Im in LA.

This is the latest edition of MoparMax it has some photos of the roll cage and some other stuff I have been up to. MoparMax Fighting Fish

Firm Feel They make some pretty nice stuff www.firmfeel.com/tubuca_a.htm z

Here is a link and some photos of my current project. Thanks to some friends I am trying to make it to the Fall Fling on Nov. 10th in Van Nuys. Hopefully I will get my new transmission from Passion Performance in time! Here is the link to the latest article...
