Convince me to put a TKX in my Dart
@340sFastback It's done! Drove it a good bit yesterday :D
@DC Dart Thank you. Yes, the hoop could have definitely been leaned back following the process you described. Wouldn't take much at all! It already fits the trans out of the car. It's when you go install it all together that you see the hoop needs to lean forward a little, but it can't because it touches the square plate on trans. My solution was a little trimming. Adding it to the back is a great idea too, there's definitely room!
I hope to be able to give that great positive review soon too! For now... not gonna lie, it's kinda weird! I'm having to learn how to drive again! It's not for lack of manual experience - out of my 6 cars, the Dart was the only automatic. Now all are manuals. And they range from mild to wild. Thing is, I have never had an old school carbureted and cammed V8 mated to a manual. Man do they behave differently! I now see how much my loose ATI converter softened the 258 @ .050 cam. It's been a very interesting learning experience, too soon for me to form a solid judgment.
Also, to everyone who mentioned more clearancing of the upper hoop - I 100% agree with you. I also didn't do it, because when that thing fit, I wasn't about to take it out again :lol:
