Well plasma cutters are cheap, so I’ll get one. I already have the crossmember so it’s can play with the parts car. Did you do the tkx then?

Is this a yes to both? I only have a cut off wheel and a torch, but Idk how to use the torch lol

I have a tkx crossmember already and I have a car I can cut into to practice on…. https://www.holley.com/products/discontinued_product/parts/67520001

@72bluNblu what do you use to cut the floor boards? Angle grinder? Plasma cutter?

I will call SST next week and try to get details on a quote for the T56 as well and also gearing. The sales person was saying “most mopar guys do the tkx for less modifications unless going for high horsepower or an extra intermediate overdrive gear around town.” I don’t do much cutting...

Don’t need a fighting match. I just want to be able to fun shift through gears without feeling bogged down and then cruise on the highway. Seems like it can be done with both, is the extra gear worth 1-2k more? None of my cars are manual and it’s the one thing I wished the gts convertible...

This is perfect. I’m never going that fast lol

I just don’t want it to flake off. It’s an engine that’s never been run, and going in a car that’s getting repainted and redone.

Ok so say the engine is a 470 or 499…. 3.55 rear gears… idk if those are the best gears but it’s a set I was thinking…

Take it to a bare engine? Or you just mean pull the heads and accessories off?

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you as well! I’ve been around but haven’t done much car work as the office is nuts at the end of the year and I have 5 projects at home going on. Car goes to paint in January so I’m going to have to **** or get off the pot with things on it. 70 and sunny here for...

I don’t understand the gearing. Most of my shifting will be up to 60 mph on side streets, not much freeway driving, maybe 10-15 minute freeway drives every couple of months. The OD of the 56 I’ve read mixed reviews, people saying 6th isn’t usable unless going 70+ mph or on long drives?

The paint on this engine is flaking off a little. What’s the best way to strip the paint off and repaint it? Thanks.

Care to shed some light on why someone would choose 1 over the other? Is one more comfortable to drive? Or more fun to drive? If you start explaining gear ratio numbers I will not know or understand anything you’re saying so say it is stupid people terms like you have to shift out of first...

The whole engine bay looks to be black :p looks like it’s a pretty nice car and paint job.
