Help Building a great street/strip 4 speed

Hey Rumblefish,

i sense from your post that you are upset from what i have said...Ive had some other people (non forum guys) tell me that i wont need a shield on the street....i was just asking...even cudaspaz said he doesnt run one and his car is quite more serious than mine will be...i understand you and everyone else are looking out for my best interests by offerring advice to me and its not like im choosing not to listen to it...im just trying to hear both sides to the story to find out what i really need to do for my car (scattershield vs. no s shield)...i hope you know that i appreciate all your help so far- you have been the prime source of info for me on this thread and i thank you for educating me...you have made me very excited to "row my own boat"8)...i really hope you arent taking this offensively, like i said i was just asking if i "really" needed one... i know its cheap insurance, but so am I (cheap i mean) so whatever i can live without i would like too, but im not too sure i can live without my legs, which is why you have good advice...

and second, hoping you arent done with this thread and offerring advice to me, how much money would i be looking at for changing gearsets....i went to the brewers site but kinda got lost as to what part name it is exactly that i would need to change for this

p.s. just out of curiousity does your 4 spd cuda have a scattershield?



My car is an original 4-speed car. When I got it, it had an auto. I put a 4-speed back in it.

It had an auto becase one of the PO's missed a shift or some thing like that and the fly wheel came out and put a big gash in the pas side tunel and fire wall. He is lucky it did not come out in the drivers side. So he craped his pants then put an auto in it.


I don't have a sheld now but it is only a street car I don't drive hard at all.
But when I hop it up a start taking it to the track I am going to put one in. To me it is a must.


It's your car and there your leg's. Do what you do kid.
