Ok, so I am back and trying to get started on this car...again..
Been dealing with quite a bit the last 2 years and never did get the car started as I had hoped. The good news is that I have spent the last 2 years collecting enough parts to easily build the car and probably enough to build another but that is another story.
Here is my situation and questions. I am building the car with a floor shift console. I have recently bought a new 727 transmission with the long tailshaft on it. I do have a spare 727 with the short tailshaft so that leads me to my first question, on the 1966 Barracuda shouldn't I be using the shorter tailshaft to eliminate the need for any modifications to the driveshaft?
Also when your installing a transmission for a console shifter, is there supposed to be some sort of bracket on the tailshaft or transmision itself that holds a rod (thought I was told a torque rod) in place? If so is that something I can order and bolt on or does it need to be fabricated?
Thanks again!
