    No gussets at the upper ball joint?

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    If you don't plan to keep the LA, seems like a bunch of work for a temporary solution. If you plan to do a G3 swap with a TR6060, I would do them both at the same time. That said, a T56 Magnum could be swapped now with the LA and the only part that would have to change later would be the...

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    Based on this mockup picture from my idler issue thread, I don't think an oil filter will fit. Not sure a remote filter would either, but maybe with 90 degree fittings?

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    Even though the PS starter won't crash with the idler for you, I wonder if it will crash with the oil filter. I know the GC had a PS starter and oil filter, but sure feels like it could be a big issue.

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    If you do bolt it up with a SB flywheel, don't forget to look at the starter. Looks like the Challenger flywheel is 131T, so the bellhousing might not put the start in the right location.

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    Found it. "Old-school LA-engine automatic transmissions and manual-trans bellhousings bolt up (just leave out the top bolt), but there's a slight misalignment because the LA crank's "stick-out" relative to the rear block bellhousing face is about 0.090-inch longer compared to the Gen III Hemi...

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    Here is the thread I was thinking of. A tranny story (t56) After reading through it again, unless you can get the TR6060 for cheap or you can figure out how to make the clutch work, feels like a non-starter. In the end it was just as much to buy a T56 Magnum new as to buy a used TR6060 and...

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    Impressive! Very cool, I like your design. Are you going to market it? Not something I can use, just curious.

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    First thing I would look at is the crank offset. I know it has been talked about and that they are different, but I don't remember which one goes which way. Based on the picture of the G3 flywheel, I would have serious doubt that you can get the factory dual disk clutch to bolt on. But I have...

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    It's got the wheels turning for me now. Don't really have an application, but curious what it takes now.

    Tr6060 behind a small block?

    Only one I know of has a thread on here and swapped the front plate, tail housing and main shaft so he could use an LS (I think) bellhousing. Not really what you are asking. The PS starter will cause issues, idler hits the starter hard. There is a fix, but it isn’t off the shelf. I have a...

    Please post pictures of the parts before welding as well as after. Dying of curiosity to see it. :thumbsup:

    Nv3500 vs ax15

    @dartslantsix and @75slant6 are/were running an Ax15. Dartslantsix had his for sale several months ago. Either way, they should both have some idea of how they work in a car. Also, the AX15 and R154 have the same bellhousing bolt pattern. As does the AR5/MA5. So you could start with an AX15...

    A833OD Reverse Gear interchange?

    Brass is almost new, it was replaced maybe 8K miles ago? And they sit pretty high and grab well. The spring on the other hand looks pretty deformed when compared to one out of the parts trans. I will re-assemble the slider with the bad spring and see what I see though. Thanks.

    A833OD Reverse Gear interchange?

    The trans is apart already and the sticking issue identified. The middle of the dog spring on the OD side had popped out from under the dog and so the dog was rocking up and not allowing the slider to move over it and out of 4th. Based on wear marks, I would guess the spring was even holing...

    A833OD Reverse Gear interchange?

    I've been having problems with my A833OD sticking in 4th so it is now out and on the bench. During inspection, the points on the reverse gears appear to be fairly rough so I am thinking about swapping them with parts from another OD trans I have. Per Passon's book, there are different reverse...

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    2015 Mustang rear hub with a Scat Pack 14.2 rotor and 4 piston Brembo. The beginning of the idea was something with a tone ring built in. No idea if it will come to fruition.

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    I see some similarities. Yours looks much more svelte and cleaner though. I assuming you are running a narrow front wheel? I looked at dropping mine 1" but the tie rod end started being an issue again even though I would run 18" wheels with mine.

    A body with an A833 and a Gear Vendor installed

    Some 4 speed install info. Gear Vendor and 833 Here is the start of an install. It's an auto trans, but the install might give you some input. 68' Valiant 4 door

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    LA 360 with rebuilder pistons (8.5:1 or worse), Mopar R/T heads, RPM intake, Carter 1406, Bullet Cams regrind (206/210 @ 0.050, 262/267 advertised, .517/.520, HR), cast iron freeflows, dual exhaust. I wish it has some compression, it's pretty mild for what it is. Fun, but I wouldn't say it has...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    Nope. Just running it stock. But it has been several years since I put it in, and it wasn't original, so not going to say it wasn't done before I got it though.

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I've had the opposite experience with an A833OD. I run mine with a 3.21 rear gear and while I do wish for a better drop from 1 to 2, I think it is fine and drives great. Cruises at 65 @ 2000 rpm and does fine around town. There is better, no argument. But now that I am putting the T56 I...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I drive an A833OD so I don’t have an real input for you other than a thought. A 5 or 6 speed does more than just allow a deeper rear gear. It can also makes the splits better, just like AJ is saying. Simple math. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but I am pretty sure a 3.09 Commando box...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I don’t know if he has run an A833OD, but I know @JBrian runs an A855. Maybe he would have some input, hopefully he sees this.

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    The '96+ 5.9 flexplate has the balance weight on it. If I am understanding you correctly, you could locate the later flexplate and use your 5.2 flywheel then.

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    The only other possibility I can think of is to build a crank pickup on the front of the motor. That's what I did, but never used it so no idea if would have worked. Either way, moving the pickup to the front of the motor removes the issue with having to buy a special flywheel or figure out...

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    I did some searching and didn't find anyone using a dual sync distributor for the stock EFI. Maybe @jbc426 has more info? I looked at a dual sync distributor years ago and ran across one from FAST that looked like it might work but it was just a maybe. Looks like FAST is gone and not sure if...

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    That's what Professor Fate was saying. They don't list them on the website, you have to call them. I was only listing the P/N in case it helped, not because you could then find it on their website.

    5.9 magnum flywheel for factory MPFI

    The guy in this video showed how to use the Holley distributor with a Terminator X, but not sure if it could be made to work with the stock EFI. 360 Magnum Daily Driver (but fun too!!!)
