The four-speed Hurst shifter in my 71 Demon doesn't seem to have a comfortable reach for me. Is there an easy way to extend the shaft height by an inch or so? Thanks.

Thanks everyone!

I'm still relatively new here, but I want to post something I learned about this forum and the folks who are on here. I know there are a lot of our Canadian friends on here, as well as other countries, but this is for my American brothers and sisters. I've belonged to a lot of boards over the...

Well I'm still going. Wine yesterday, my favorite Pearl black label vodka and cranberry juice today. I love being off Christmas week!

russduanegreen, your wife's Demon looks a lot like my wife's Demon LOL! Here's my 71. Started its life as a slant six and was in California for the first 20 years. The second owner put the current 360 crate in it. He did it right. He put an 8 3/4 rear, 833 four speed, ported and polished 302...

Weight distribution may prove to be pretty tough.

Yea, downshifting does the trick. About gave myself a whiplash! It is bad *** though when you bang it down into third. The car lifts, you get a little rubber, and everyone within about a three block radius is saying "sweet!".

It's an Edlebrock.

This may be a dumb question, but i'll go out on a limb anyway. My last car was an automatic with a four barrel carb. When you punched the gas pedal while cruising, you can feel that extra kick in g-forces when your head kind of snaps back a bit. The car I have now is a 71 Demon four speed...

I just got the car and I was told that the motor is a 360 crate. I'd like to at least find out some more history on the car and motor. Horsepower, compression ratio, etc. Thanks.

New member here. Great forum! I have a 71 Demon with a 360 crate. The car runs very strong and the four speed is a blast to drive. I don't have enough history on the car (yet) to tell where the crate was built. Does anyone know if there's a way I'd be able to figure it out by looking at it...
