My '68 Fastback 4 speed swap

Well, the 318/904 combo works pretty damn good... 3000 stall, shifts hard, lays rubber nicely, very responsive. Just time to go manual, I think I'd enjoy it even more. I always dream about rowin' my own gears!

So I rebuilt an A-body 4 speed, got a Hurst Comp plus shifter, new shift rods and clutch linkage from Brewers, bought this Ram Clutches 3 finger clutch and billet steel flywheel a while ago, have to paint and install my pedal assembly.

Got the rest of the parts I needed at the Spring Fling this weekend which persuaded me to go ahead with the swap...After hearing a guys 69 Dart with a mechanical cam and 4 speed, made me say, "yep, I want a 4 speed!"

I have TTI headers, so I bought their Z-bar to go with it, since I didn't have one anyway.

Any hints, tips, tricks, thoughts are welcome as I've never done this before. :happy8:











I'll be posting updates of the progress. Not gonna start the swap until after June 2nd, I wanna take it to Mopar Rally first. I don't think I could finish before then. lol
