How does the mounting work with the 545rfe? Is anyone making a crossmember? How much surgery in the trans tunnel and what kind of shifts are people running?
I’m assuming that’s the intermediate shaft. Just saw a thread on that ♂️ So just rotating it counter clock wise with a long screw driver to free it from the cam gear then a magnet to pull it should do the trick?
I need some direction on my install. I’m installing a Holley Hyperspark 565-306 on my 440. I found TDC in cylinder 1 using a TDC whistle. The rotor lined up with the previous owners #1 mark on the cap and I confirmed by looking at the balancer In the front of the motor. I pulled the older...
That’s a super clean install. Looks fairly narrow too I wonder if that’ll fit in a 440 engine bay. At $50 bucks I’m willing to give it a shot if it flow well. Do you know the CFMs on it?
Do you have CFM values on that fan and pics of how you installed it? I’ve definitely heard of factory replacement fans sometimes out flowing brand name aftermarket ones and definitely beating them in the bang for buck category. Mustang guys like to use electric fans out of a ford contour (rated...
Hahaha man my Fords are much cheaper to work on. These mopars are bleeding me dry. That damn Hellcat included. They wouldn’t swap out my battery unless I brought the whole car to them. I had to tow the car with the dead battery there for them to warranty it ♂️
you’re not too far from me! I’m...
Agreed. But I’d rather be watching car stuff than what’s on the news these days
they’re a little over priced. But man they seem to find all the good cars. All the other ratty chargers were just too far gone for what people ask for them.
I’ve been to the large Garland show but I thought it was...
thanks. I actually bought from big Chris at Collins Bro’s Jeep here in town. Richard Rawlings crew here in DFW for those who don’t know. I actually spotted it on an episode of fast n loud from before I bought it. It was extremely solid for a Massachusetts car. Floors and frame rails were intact...
Thanks! What part of town are you in? Not sure what’s going on with all this COVID stuff but I wish we had a stronger car scene out here. There doesn’t seem to be much going on around here usually.
Fair enough. I’ll have to find a Powered by Ford sticker for the rear windshield then...
yah I’m not sure it’s poorly done. But I’ve been looking at the QA1 stuff and they call for a mopar 8 3/4 so I’m actually open to going back to a mopar rear end. But yah she goes! The PO said it was a 7 second car in the 1/8th mile?
thanks! It’s got a 440 under the hood built by Cotton racing here in DFW. 727 full manual but it’s got a 3400 stall converter. Ford 8.8 rear end (no I’m not swapping this out ) with what looks to be a custom coil over suspension. I’m still figuring that out.
The interior is stripped, it’s got...
Kidding. Kind of. I do come from the world of cheap Chinese reproduction parts and irresponsible burn outs into an innocent crowd of onlookers. But I now officially have as many mopars as fords. Finally picked up an A body, this one was originally a street/strip project. I’m going to be taming...
