Out with the Automatic and in with the Tremec 5 speed
I have had this Tremec 5 speed for a couple of years. I bought from a friend of mine father -in- law it was in his 73 Hemi Challenger and he decided to switch to an automatic it has about 1500 miles on it. I did have to get a new extension housing and shifter for it from American Powertrain along with there transmission tunnel sheet metal, speedo cable and cross member.
So after some friends of mine started bugging me to go to the 50th anniversary of the 68 Super Stock Barracudas and Darts and get off my *** and put the Tremec in. I decided if I didn’t get started on it now it would never get done. So today I started taking apart a good running car getting ready to cut up my perfectly good floors. The plan was to take the interior out and install the pedals, so I can take it to my shop and pull the transmission and start cutting the floor out.
I looked around to see if I could find anyone the used the American Powertrain cross member and sheet metal with pictures, but no luck so I plan on taking pictures along the way so someone else could have an idea of whats involved.
