71 V24 Duster rebuild to redo

Hey guys and gals, spring has sprung and it's time to start thinking DRAG RACING!!
I'ts been a while since posting anything, had a super busy winter and since losing my shop bay I had to park the Duster in the incomplete/unheated garage for the winter. So much for having the car finished for spring. I have been doing some research and my plans for a 6spd Viper trans went out the window when I found out that you have to cut out torsion bar mounts and areas of the floor etc. so the next best best is a Tremec TKO 600 five speed. If anyone has done this to their A body I would appreciate some advice. Last year someone mentioned that someone had posted the conversion in a moparts thread, will look for it today. I'll also put a seperate post in the driveline forum of this site to see if I can peak anyones attention. Hope everyones had a good winter and will post any significant progress for anyone who's interested. Kev
