    Which way to swap? Separate motor and gearbox in place or pull together?

    Yep ! You can tilt it as you pull it then level it off as needed to clear the header panel . Just pulled my engine last week .

    Front and rear Helwigs on both my cars . Makes a huge difference! I run KYBs on a 93 Mazda B2600 I restored . Meh…. Not real good at wheel control. Not enough rebound .

    Opinions welcome

    I went with 4 wheel discs on my Barracuda and they stop on a dime . However I came to realize I dont drive aggressively enough to need them . The 69 340 Swinger has all 4 manual drums but I used a smaller bore master and larger bore wheel cylinders . Nice pedal feel and great stopping power ...
