If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Some days are just that way, you know? It's get better Samy, much much better. Russ.

Samy, if it weren't for bad luck, ..............You know how this statement ends, don't you?? Russ.

Does that have the third member in it we built here? Did you ever get a chance to break it in? If you haven't, don't forget to do it. And like I always say, DON'T FORGET THE OIL. Wish I could be there to see the look on your face when you get to drive it!!!! Russ.

Just installed on my '66 Valiant weekend before last. It's a GREAT kit. It's almost mistake proof the way they made the kit. I dropped mine to the top hole, lowering the car one inch. Also, I had them ship me the front brackets with no holes machined, my springs use a 7/16 front bolt, not a 5/8...

YY1, I think the 283 and the 327 was available. A friend of mine had an early style Nova that had a 365 horse 327 in his, don't remember if it came that way or not. He was one of the spoiled "rich kids". Both collectors would go through that hole I'm pretty sure. I'm trying to visualize what...

Way back when, I had a '64(?) Nova with a 194 six and power glide. I remember that to put a V8 in one in that time period required a special pan and pick-up. My Nova exhaust went down and back in chassis on driver's side (left) if I remember right. I think that hole is for the exhaust on the 180...

Those look like 180 degree over the top headers. The year 1978 would be about right. The trans on the ground under the front of the Nova looks to be a Richmond 5 speed. They had a tendency of blowing 3rd because of no bearing support for the long span between the bearings. The shafts actually...

A special time out for Nella and a prayer. May God be with you. Russ.

Happy birthday neighbor. I'll meet you at the fence in the back yard by the gate to give you your present. Glad to see you finally hit 21. Russ.

A buddy of mine had a '32. Had a 273, tunnel, mopar 4 speed with an 8 3/4. Drove it down from Seattle many years back and we all met at Circus Circus in Reno for Hot August Nights. After that he drove on down with us to Berdoo and then went street racing in Hemet. I can't remember what ever...

I got mine today. Beautiful piece of worksmanship. Thanks Steve. Russ.

I use a 5 footer, and route it from the shifter to the passenger side, under the pan and back up on the drivers side to the trans. I wish that they made a 4 1/2 footer. I have a brand new 4 footer and 3 footer, can't use but I tried. I also use a https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dei-010418...

Those look good Steve. Just ordered one from e-bay. Thanks. Russ.

The shifter levers in those pictures fit a Munce with the thru bolt shift shafts for attaching the levers. The little hole on the reverse lever that is bolted to where the shifter is suppose to be bolted is for the factory Muncie back up lights linkage to the switch which would be bolted to the...

I'm still playing with my '66 Valiant 2 door post. I have been approached maybe a half a dozen times, because I drive it every day that it's runable. It's got a nice newly built 340, 3500 stall, 904, 8 3/4 with either 3.23's, 3.91's or 4.86's, depending on use. I've been working on this thing...

Actually, you have a '68, mine was a '67, same as the Belvedere I bought when I first got out of the service. Yours had marker lights, mine had none. Wish I still had both of those cars. Russ.

How much trouble do you think we'd get into???? I'll tell one......The first, very first time I saw you, you pulled up next door driving a FORD product. You didn't see me I don't think. But I gotta admit, it was a nice one. A little Maverick or Bobcat or? with a 302 and twin hood scoops...

Boy, could I tell some stories..............

Got mine the other day Chris..............Thanks. Russ.

You're looking at the outside of a transmission. Without opening it up and pulling the front bearing retainer to see the front seal and input bearing I wouldn't give more than $50.00 for it. I've got 3 or 4 trannies by doing just that. Some folks just don't want their "rebuilt" transmissions...

Time Warner carries it too, watched it yesterday. He was driving a green dart convertable, top down, with Cragers, California plate number NMO-918 if I got it right. Don't know what year Dart, but my old '65 Valiant had a plate number of NHB-899. When I met Conners it was around 1960, he was...

I came across this today, Mannix starring Mike Conners. I've met Mike Conners and loved watching Mannix. Check this out A body fans. "Mannix's automobiles The automobile was a focus of Mannix's professional life, and he had several of them as his personal vehicle in the eight-year run of the...

Yep, it's got the steel forks, the better syncro rings and beefier dogs, but besides being an overdrive, like I said before, it didn't come in an A body and it's a ***** to make it fit an A body. Now, under that spring that's sticking up on the bottom where the side cover goes on, there is a...

I've been building stick tranmissions for around 50 years. I still don't know any numbers, I just look, and count teeth. These old transmissions, odds are, aren't original inside anymore anyway. What I'm looking at is probably a B body, 23 spline 4 speed, and judging by the other picture of the...

Just PM'd you Chris. I'd like two sets. Who do I pay pal? Thanks, Russ.

I wish you'd take a picture of the whole trans, but I'm thinking I'm looking at an 833 Chrysler 4 speed. Russ.

I'll be the first. I've had TrailBeast's system for maybe almost a year. I absolutely love it. The simplicity makes it great. It's about the best I've seen for the money for a street car, hipo or stock. And I'm not exactly new to MOPAR's by no means. Russ.

First thing you better do is make sure the 273 is drilled for a pilot bushing. The rest is easy. Russ.

It's looking good. I wish my garage was only as cluttered as yours. Russ.

When I worked at Keith Blacks around the mid 70's, we were doing billet small block MOPAR cranks for ?Petty? I believe. The billet chunk of steel started off at better than 400 pounds. What they ended up at I never found out, nor did I find out the stroke or any other specs. I was racing small...
