You wont regret the Dana 60 Upgrade. Did some testing a few years back and found out that it is just as fast as an 8 3/4. Kind of a no brainer. Wish someone would have told me 20 Years ago-- it had gotten to the point where I was replacing the ring + pinion in our stocker every 150 runs. I'm...
No problem! Hope to visit your state someday--- it's on my bucket list.
Everyone I know that's visited Texas has loved it -- two of my friends actually liked it so much they moved there! BTW- Your combo seems to be running pretty darn good!
I know that you don't need a lot of spring pressure to make these things rev. I tried building this engine with eagle heads and a carb at first, but I was using the same theory as a small block when setting up the springs. I was setting them up with close to 700 lbs of open pressure-- needless...
Lifters are stock non-mds blocked to make them solid. Harland Sharp adjustable rockers.
Valves, springs, retainers + keepers are all Manley-- Don't know the part #'s or specs. David Barton at Ray Barton Racing Engines set everything up for me. He has countless hours of R+D in these things and...
Here's a link to the instructions:http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=161751
The page 2 step 8 of the instructions clearly state that if you don't have throttle linkage, the throttle lever MUST be wired back to full throttle position. This kit does convert it to full manual...
If I remember correctly, the tf-3 kit still requires throttle linkage or you can simply make it so the linkage is blocked all the way to "full throttle pressure" if you run the linkage, it softens the shifts at low throttle and firms them up as you open the throttle. If you simply wire the...
Sorry I took so long to respond. Yes, the gears drop right in to an older pump. They are not in the catalog or online. Call and talk to Paul Forte, he's the owner and these gears are something he does as a "Special" option. I actually have 3 sets and I am only using 1 right now. I have been...
Turbo Action will install the late model style hub with flats and they also sell the gears to match. I currently have 2 converters and 2 sets of gears with this option. ATI uses a hardened hub on their converters and they claim that they have never had any cracking problems.
There is a Stock/ Super Stock race at Mason Dixon dragway on Nov 1-2. Always a great show with really cool cars and always a decent turnout of Mopars. Here's a link with info:

Take a trip to your local NAPA. They are now selling Carlyle Hand Tools. Pay close attention to the wrenches, ratchets and sockets. They will look very familiar if you've looked at a Snap-On piece :wink:. They are same quality for about a third the price. Lifetime warranty as well.

Milodon Part #30755 available at most mail order warehouses (Summit+Jegs).
Or you can try to find a used one. As Myron said, a 360 passenger car pan is what you need.
