What shocks go with SS springs? I read the threads, looked up the part numbers, got a brain anurism. Anyone have the correct part# for a proper ss set up?

Got it. I appreciate the input. Just watched a TF2 install video also. After 2 days in the rocky, dirt doing the shifter, I’ll let this go until I get motivated for more of the same.

So nothing with band adjustment that could be done before the shift kit goes in? The kit and directions are still in the Jegs box. I’ll look for a TF2 video first. Transmission work is new for me.

Mine leaks a tiny bit with a new china gap, new housing, and blue felpro. No sealant. Doesn’t bother me much, I have things higher on the to do list like the heater core that started to leak a little, but I’ll get to it. I’ll try a little sealant on both sides and see if that does it.

First tire burn test with open shorties:

First burn out. I took my foot right off because I wasn’t sure about the open short tubes:

Sweet! Yeah, I was planning on having someone weld some plates around it, but I could just hand them this rail cap.

Agreed! I cleaned a ton of crap out of there to get that far lol. My landlord is a complete slob, and half *** extraordinaire. He let me clean up his 20year old mess and do the swap just so he could have an excuse to say a hole things about it daily. Dude is a wicked narcissist dirt bag. The...

Thanks again to anyone who offered helpful suggestions. Everything worked out. Believe it or not, getting the 360 in was easier than getting the 318 out.

Lol. Not much.
