392 & 8hp70 65 Valiant

Very cool, I'll be following along on this one. What are you going to use to control the 8hp?
Sound German sells a kit that controls the transmission. Since it’s completely electronic, to feel comfortable and not 100% reliant on the electronics to do their job I decided to swap the rear brakes from a budget jegs disc brake kit (without a parking brake) to a Wilwood kit with a parking brake. I’m going to have the same company that helped with the dash bezel design and print a console to look close to the original with a couple small changes. I will delete the ash tray and put a cup holder in its place, then shrink the gear indicator down the fit the digital gauge hopefully on the side of the shifter like it was originally but due to space might have to put it at the front center of the console. The 8 speed is a bit larger than the 727 so there will be some tunnel reconstruction happening.
