'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

Not far at all! If you ever get up this way, make sure to reach out.

Here is a list of the parts I put together. Looks like I misquoted myself, this list is more like $5750 for a T56 Magnum swap:

Tremec

Looks like the TOB was $65, MC was $125 and then a $100 mount from someone on here plus some hoses.

The next post in the above thread was my parts list and costs for a TKX swap. That list was built around a "stock" bellhousing that should accept the OEM clutch linkage.

I was all excited about trying to avoid a hydraulic setup and use my existing linkage, plus it saved me a fair amount of money. In the end, I wanted the double OD too much. Add that I am now going down the G3 Swap road and using the Holley mounts, so even if I wanted to use my existing A833OD I would have to go to a hydraulic clutch since the motor moves forward some. I can't imagine trying to rebuild the mounts and linkages to work with the new bellhousing location.

Will do! I actually bought my engine and intake off Spokane Craigslist :)

Good info man I’ll cruise the thread a bit! I think at this point I’ll run some more gear ratio calcs and start saving for an OD trans, be it the T56 or TKX…. Either way it’ll be the same amount of work so I might look a little more into the T56.

Got the do a little engine assembly today. Got heads in and torqued, painted my Holley front cover yesterday. Going to mask off and paint the long block here soon.

Also FYI the valve spring spacers are different between the BGE heads and the Apache (SRT8) heads. MMX had to send new ones which are about .060” thinner than the car 6.4 spacers.
