'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

Cool project. Just a thought , you may want to want to upgrade to a Hurst competition plus over what looks like an Inland shifter. The Hurst has a tighter feel and has strong lever stops to keep excessive shift pressure off of sincros and shift forks. Also you can use many different shifter handles. I have run Inland and factory Hurst shifters and they tend to be a little sloppy. Also what clutch are you using , I had to mill my hydraulic throw out bearing to get proper clearance with a Lakewood scatter shield and Center force duel friction clutch.

Great minds think alike. After testing the inland shifter (definitely a touch sloppy) I ordered parts to rebuild my HURST shifter that also came with the trans. I was watching some YouTube last night and I’ll be adding the stops and hardened steel bushings myself to the hurst shift gates when I rebuild it. Thanks for the tip!

Regarding the TO bearing in running a McLeod super street setup. The hydraulic TO bearing had great instructions and it has a screw in/out collar on the back to adjust it. Don’t anticipate having to modify it further.

I am on the lookout for a bottom inspection cover for my bellhousing…
