One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

No, I didn't take any pictures. I should have though... I'll probably be back at his shop in a month or so when my transmission is done, so I can take some at that time (with Lonnie's permission of course). According to Lonnie, the really cool machining operations take place at his shop in Ohio - they do mostly assembly and testing at his North Carolina location.

I'm planning to install a 408 or 416 stroker motor in my Dart. You can find pretty complete details for my planned motor and my Dart at the thread below.

Regarding the lock-up vs non lock-up torque converter issue, I had the same thought process as you going into the meeting with Lonnie. However, we talked through my goals and desires at length and he recommended a lock-up model for my application because I plan to occasionally take the Dart on 4-6 hour highway drives. In any event, I'm expecting my torque converter situation to be a bit more straightforward than yours since I won't have the tone ring to deal with.

I've decided to gear the car a bit differently (either 3.91's or 4.10's) than what is described below to get the engine a little more into its power band on the highway. I'm also going to have the chassis shop build a custom 4-link rather than go with the RMS Streetlynx because they think that they can make room for tailpipes with a Dana 60.

Keep the details coming!
