    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    Must have been the next ratio down. A quick look on the Randy's Ring and Pinion site does show a 3.08, but you are out of luck for a 2.73. And a quick search on Strange's website shows the tallest there is 3.31. I know it was just an idle curiosity so I wasn't looking hard for them. It only...

    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    Can you even buy a new set of 3.08 gears? Seems like I looked awhile ago and places like Randy's stopped (started?) at 3.2x.

    Holley efi and nag1 transmission

    Pretty sure that would be a big no. I think the TCM uses input from the PCM and the Holley won't talk to it. Hotwire Auto has a tech article on getting a NAG1 wired up and it includes an ABS module, speed sensor, FCM, shifter and TCM, besides the PCM. https://www.hotwireauto.com/nag-1-swaps...

    Scat Pack 4 piston Brembo calipers and rotors

    Surprisingly, Xometry quoted me $85 each for the above CNC part out of 6061-T6. Better than I expected.

    Scat Pack 4 piston Brembo calipers and rotors

    Another idea on how to do this if someone had access to a milling machine. Needs some refinement, specifically to remove the pointy remnants. It was just a quick sketch to see if it even looked feasible. 3D printing one to see how well it bolts up.

    8hp70 transmission crossmember mount

    Does this work with the factory k-frame or does it require the motor to be forward and down a little?

    Rewiring my EFI Magnum - 1970 Dart Swinger

    If it was me, I would go to a wrecking yard and clip the plug off whatever GM model the switch came from. I would bet you could even de-pin it and slide your wires right into it. I just like having the plugs, wires don't get crossed later and less chance of them coming loose. But $35 is way...

    Malwood underdash hydraulic kit for A-Bodies

    Glad to hear. Sorry about the false alarm. No idea what tripped my brother up, but I am certain it wasn't the fuse panel. I hurt myself pretty good so I haven't been able to go up and see his build since December, so I can only go off what he told me on the phone.

    Rewiring my EFI Magnum - 1970 Dart Swinger

    I used an F-Body brake switch when I did my CC retrofit, but everything else was F-Body as well so it made sense. Worked with the stock bracket and gave me a NO brake light switch and a NC CC switch. No idea how many circuits you need though so not sure it is another option. I should add that...

    6.1 Hemi 69 Barracuda Fastback Father Son Project

    As much as I loved the gauges of my ‘15 Challenger, not sure I can see it in the interior of an old car. At the same time, I love the idea of more modern gauges with some additional info like what the CC speed is set to. Or even configurable screens in the same layout as the Rallye gauges...

    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    I wasn’t trying to be negative, not really sure how you read that into it. Maybe you missed that I was also agreeing with you? Your “life experiences” are exactly my hesitation with an A8 and most builds on here. And to be clear, the 6.4 reference is pertinent as the OP has that exact motor in...

    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    Exactly my point in post #33 in regards to an A8. If your motor won’t work well at the lower cruise RPM’s that the taller rear gear and OD offer, it can make the car worse. And sometimes it isn’t tuning but more just the engine build. Just have to point out that a 2015+ 6.4/A8 runs at 1560...

    Blue Brick

    Funny thing is a couple of month's ago, I got an email from Modern Driveline and it listed the ToddRon crossmember for A-Bodies as a "New Product". Makes me think they are still selling them, but...??

    Malwood underdash hydraulic kit for A-Bodies

    I asked him to, but I don't think he will. And I asked if he took pictures of the interference and he said no. I will tell him that someone talked to Malwood who didn't think there should be a problem. Maybe that will push him to reach out.

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Looks good! Did you end up getting that 6.1 intake?
