MoparPowa's money hole (66 Dart 5.7 hemi build)
Thanks for your service! Hope all your projects work out well.
There is a way to use the 200R4 without an adapter plate. A guy can use a Reid SFI rated bellhousing which bolts to the trans with a small CNC'd adapter. It looks lots better too.
I agree about the subframe connecters. You might want to check out the complete US Cartool chassis stiffening kit. I added one to my convertible and the difference is nothing short of amazing!
Good luck, sir.
