I would start with the brake drums. Open up and look. I had some retractor springs that weakened and allowed the drums to jam. If that doesn't reveal a result, look into the gears. How many miles on the rear end?

Drop it on your foot and see what you call it!

The question is do you want to drive around or do you want to beat modern muscle?

Custom Torque Converters for Drag Racing - Ultimate Converter Concepts Talk to lenny. Get a second opinion.

I use some modeling clay like when I check for tolerances to hold the bolts in the sockets. Easy to wipe off.

Just say no!

Nice Vert! If you have a converter go for the 3.23. Having said that the 3.55 will get you to the end of a 1/4 mile without over reving. Mine is a 3.55.

Have you considered just a taller tire? Your barracuda has lots of wheel well. Just an inch or 2 will make a big difference.

Anybody in your area you can go for a ride with? See how you feel about the high rpm stress vs the giddy up. Was the 3.91 with the same motor? I have 3.55 in my 69 cuda conv with 360 roller, running about 3200 rpm at highway speeds.

My setup requires quite a bit of throttle movement til it starts actuating the shift linkage. I looked at the Lokar and it looks like it moves at the same time. I'm no tranny expert, but there are others at this site that may chime in. Wish I could be more help.

My setup. Hope this helps.

How does it adjust? It may just be a matter of playing with it to adjust to shift at the right place.

BTW I have a 360 hooked up to my 904 if you need photos of the factory setup.

I'm not familiar with the lokar shift cable. Does that go from your shifter to the trans or from the carb to the trans?

Typically there is a downshift linkage from the carb that is adjustable. I use that to adjust when the upshift from 2 to 3 occurs. Does yours have this setup?

Taller tires will accomplish the same thing too.

7 1/4 are practically falling out of the trees, so if you don't mind the labor...

I'd just ask Mike (MRL) He's building the engine and he really knows his stuff.

Look at espo 1" springs. They hand pick them for match and get you more clearance.

Thanks Bad Sport for your advice and suggestions for the U joint. I have no desire to pole vault!

So did you use your 7 1/4 drive shaft? Mine is a mild 360 build and I wonder if the 7 1/4 drive shaft is strong enough. Probably 350-375hp when done.

I'm swapping my 7 1/4 to a 8 3/4. Hope the centerline part is accurate, it would be very helpful.
