71 Duster 360 (new project)

I have two of these CSR super shields installed on 904 transmission.(Dart and Demon)..You will have to cut off several of the mounting lugs that are on the 904,,,,which should not take more then a few minutes...LOL

Depending on what you use for oil lines the front one can be a problem to get installed...I use #6 steel braided line and I install the line on the trans before it goes in the car...

The bolts that come with the shield tends to be too long and bottom out inside the back of the motor...so either shorter bolts or i use a couple harden washers to space it them out...

To me..there is only one way to install the shield...engine and trans together with shield on trans....especially in an A body with very little room behind the engine...

My first experience of install the motor/trans/ and shield together on the 71 Dart was not very successful as the mounting plates on the shield would hit the firewall before the deep sump on the moroso pan would drop down into the K member...after a couple hours of trying everything...I gave up...

I ended up cutting and sectioning the k member...in fact I did it on this duster while the K member was out..and the Demon has a tubular k member so it is no problem...

They fit pretty much like a glove....make sure you shifter linkage and any kickdown linkage clears...

10.99 and faster need them....

Probably going to order another one next week....as soon as we figure out the engine/trans/converter combo

What issues would I encounter if I tried to install with the engine/trans already in the car?
