I use this set up. Not a "quick connect" per se, but it works pretty good and certainly makes getting in and out of the car over the cage and seat a whole lot easier! Grant Anti-Theft Systems 2001

I don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but I've tried to get insurance on my car and no one I've tried said two words about the roll cage. When they got the requisite engine pic and saw the nitrous solenoids.....the deal was off. Hagerty told me they won't insure anything supercharged, nitrous...

Swing outs are ok too!

Here's a pic of where I put my wide band. It is actually behind the evac tube as the tube enters the collector at an angle and protrudes in some as seen in the second picture. Seems to work.

The Reid stuff is real nice! I started with a Quick Time bell (4L80 to Big Block Mopar)and it leaked like crazy as it was .006" off from side to side and it bolts to the cast pump surface which obviously isn't flat and will never seal (I was warned prior). The fluid crept right up the bolt and...

I'm assuming you mean the 200-4R overdrive transmission and not the metric POS from the late '70's. It would certainly be less work to use one, but if you're talking 1,000+ hp, the longevity won't be that great and regular refreshing/inspection will be necessary even with all billet internals...

Ok, to stay on track, here are a few pics of the underside of my car to show what I did to get a 4L80 to fit. I think the 80 is a little wider than the 400, so this may not be totally representative of what needs to be done to get a 400 in. Also, I had header and exhaust issues due to running...

Give this guy a call. He knows his stuff and stands behind his units. http://www.ckperformance.com/resources/GMTH400TRANSMISSIONS.html

I did a 4L80E, but I would imagine a TH400 wouldn't be too much different. Yes, the tunnel requires modification as well as the crossmember. I hope you're running coil overs, because the cutting required on the crossmember really won't allow you to keep the torsion bars. I'll get some pics of...

I kinda think you're pushing past the needle and seats as well.

If you run the idle screw all the way in you will completely expose the transfer slots and start pulling fuel from the main circuit. No more than .020" of the transfer slot should be exposed. As stated earlier, check for vacuum leaks, float levels, fuel pressure and if you have adjustable air...

Solid mounts or a motor plate with a stock tranny mount is the way to go if the car is street driven. With a midplate, the flexing of the frame over bumpy roads, curves and uneven surfaces will crack the bell of the transmission.

Not done yet, but almost there!

When I ordered my S60 from Strange, they suggested the TruTrac over the locker for street use and I've got a bit more in my combo. 517" big block dyno'd 638hp 671tq without the spray. GM 4l80 with a brake and 3.73's in the 60 with 28-14.5/15 Quick Time Pro's out back.

Here's mine so far!

Lol! Thanks! It's a street strip car and it won't pass inspection without an e-brake. The factory set-up just wasn't working with the cage, so I went the Lokar route. Anyway, I'm glad I could help!

I really have nothing in common with your set-up other than it's an a-body, I'm running a shield and I had collector clearance issues. First, let me start by saying that your endeavour will require some fabrication whichever route you choose to go. I personally would run a shield and not a...

It's not a Duster and it's a full cage, but here's a pic to give you and idea of the general set-up. The main hoop and rear bars will be the same on a cage or a bar. I used my buddy's shop to bend up the tubing and get it fitted real nice. You won't get that with a kit and yes, it must be cross...

Not a great pic, but you get the idea!

Looks good, but I'd get some grommets in those holes in the trunk floor or you'll be shorting out before long! Oh and the mat doesn't look that bad!

For balancing, the shop's going to need everything from the balancer to the flywheel/flexplate. Bring them the crank, pistons, rods, pins, rings, bearings, everything. All of this stuff will affect the bobweight and will need to be present to properly balance the rotating assembly. Most shops...

Skypower, I geared the car so I wouldn't run out of motor before the end of the track in 3rd gear. I could put some more gear in it, but I think I'd have traction problems with the amount of gear I'd need to keep it in the power range in 4th gear. The spread in the 4L80 is 2.48, 1.48, 1 and .75...

Hmmm, maybe I'm a little bit optomistic, but I was thinking top of the 9's....9.80ish. Although, bottom of the 10's will certainly put a smile on my face! Rumble, I'll give you a call when she comes home. I've got a few questions for ya in regards to the stock stuff I removed.

I know it's a hard thing to predict and there are many variables that will affect e.t., but I figured "what the heck" I'll post up and see what I get. My car's nearing completion, so here it goes. 1968 Barracuda fastback, mini-tubbed ladder bar car with 28-11.5/15's, Dana 60 with 3.73's, GM...

In short, yes I have and no it won't. I'll get some pics up for you over the weekend.

It was done by CME Engines in South Carolina. They told me that they are seeing 5cfm more blow by than they would like, but the pistons have a short skirt and a low tension ring pack, so they recommend a crank case evacuation system. They also said that if it is a problem they will take care of...

Wow! Those are low, but I can see that they angle down a bit. Those pics really help me get an idea of how they will fit, so I thank you for them. I was a little concerned, but I've got no inner fenders, I'm using an engine plate and I've got manual rack and pinion, so I don't think I'll have...

I was originally just looking for a fresh block, but when I tallied up the cost to do it myself or have it done.....have it done won out by a cosiderable margin. I got it through CME Engines and they dyno'd it. It started out as one of their "crate engines, but I wanted just about everything...

Ground clearance aside, I'm glad they hang a bit low or they probably wouldn't clear the transmission pan. Of course, they're not in the car yet, so I may change my mind once they are.

Bob Mazzolini Racing. They're not cheap, but if they work, it'll be worth it! Bob said TTI is making them for him.
