It was a great kit. Instructions were very straight forward I know the whole harness front to back now. I recommend getting the American autowire crimpers part number 510587. I tried a cheaper set on Amazon and they just didn’t work well, those packard 56 connectors are very heavy duty and the...

In the middle of converting to a t56. Looking to keep the stock center console but only have the automatic shifter top plate. Would like to trade or buy one. Preferably not at the $400 classic industries price point!

I know I’m a little late in this thread. I bought the silver sport clutch/brake pedal assembly as well. I have an automatic currently. The pedal and master is installed already. It’s very nice that the kit utilizes the factory hole, all you have to do is drill 3 holes for the master cylinder to...

Right they must not have been too standard of u-bolts! Not sure how else you would get a perfect u bolt indent in an axle tube like that. I’ve only installed 2 rear ends and have never seen that.

Jesus was that torqued way past spec

I’ve only come across that u bolt twice. I do like them a lot. The pair I had even had some knurling in it. I’d like to see the picture just ***** and giggles though

For sure. I’d like to grab used were possible/makes sense. I just didn’t have a good idea on pricing for a used a body rear end. It also cleared up my misconceptions on 741 so win win out of this thread!

Lol that goes without saving

Good to know about the shock plates. Thanks for the info

Man, I may have just been sold on getting the axle by me for 650 after reading this

Yea $650 will get me an a body housing and a 741 center section without shipping fees. Just to get a the housing on Drdiffs page is 775 plus whatever shipping is. I have time to shop around, my 7.25 rear end is still fine. I just want to get some ball park estimates and ideas. Everyone seems...

Do you think $650 for an a body 741 rear end is fair? no brakes on it but I plan to convert to disc anyway I suppose I could always source a 742 or 489 down the road

Exactly that’s why I wanted to steer away from a direct drop in from a b body rearend. Darts wheel wells don’t have nearly the same room. I’ll have to find an a body rear end or bite the bullet and cut up b,c, or e. Anyone try cutting and welding on their own? I see Mancini racing sells brand...

Oh I’m sure I won’t get away with a full rear end without dropping some decent coin. I just want to make it bulletproof so I won’t have to worry about it again. I have no plans on tracking this car at the moment but who knows 10 years down the road. Just future proofing

for the bigger pinion size. Isn’t the 741 pinion size the same thickness as a 7.25 rear end?
