Help Building a great street/strip 4 speed

A scattershield is cheap insurance. One of my buddies lucked out with only a small cut from a piece of clutch debris that found its way through the floor on a missed shift. That was a wake-up call for our little group of ruffians. It's worth the money if you're gonna do it.

A four-speed is often more punishing to everything behind it. Spending the extra money on the ultra-super-heavy-dutiest U-joints you can find is peace of mind from the nagging worry of pole vaulting the car at some inopportune time (at ridiculous speeds, etc). My problem was always launching bits of metal through the walls of the case (including the entire countershaft). The 833 should be much more tolerant of abuse on that level than the Brand-X crap.

I'll echo what's been said about the dual-friction setup - it rocks. The strip clutches are fun for a while, but one traffic jam fixes that.

This has me thinking of converting my Dart. Again. Ffffffffffiddlesticks.
