I use 0 gauge battery cable. it goes under the car beneath the rear seat and runs along the subframe connector it crosses over top of the motor to the starter at the firewall. not really hard to keep it away from exhaust heat. its the tremec superduty t5 so it's a bit beefier then stock. I think...
cowl hoods work just fine. I agree that a cowl hood on a mopar is silly. but they do work. I just hate it when guys put a big cowl hood on their car but dont have any big induction system under the hood to back it up.
parts list is simple. I used a McLeod Hyd. throwout bearing. it came in a kit with the wilwood 3/4" bore master cylinder. I would recommend trying to get the bearing used in the Keisler kit. I've had a few problems with the bearing leaking. I used the slip on style bearing. I needed it when I...

I'd have moved it further out of the garage but I haven't fired up the 360 under the hood yet.
Over two months ago I ordered a stock style pin on hood for a 64 valiant. these take about 4 weeks to ship out. at the end of 4 weeks I got a call from the freight shipping company saying they had a delivery for me. GREAT. they showed up exactly when they said they would. only problem was they...
