74 Dart 360 Sport
Ok upper hoop is in where I plan for it to live now. Minus any adjustments well stab transmission and build the tunnel around it. Three pieces top middle narrow side, should look way better than Ma Mopar did with her crooked weird tunnel. Great for stock of course but no reason to duplicate that look may as well take a liberty. At this point only the doors and trunk lid are stock rofl. Im thinking square sides and then angle top.
Step one would be the big side bell housing and give it an industrial square and angled look.
Step two will be a wider bell housing side to end.
Step three end piece will be a tapered piece to original floor tunnel.....I know original compared to what Vince.
I know someone is thinking I give him a year or two years and he will do an HDK and a Hemi. Denny would love this and wonder why didn't he spend the money there in the first place. Well because I'm having so much fun! If I did that I would not have to change the tunnel now LOL as it would moved forward three inches. Walker Inductions down the street makes a real mean twin turbo 5.7 setup and 6.4. Course that would be a Dana or 8 3/4 and lots of cash and I'm trying to drive this thing at some point!
On a funnier note. Now you know the rest of the story....as the 727 is coming out no I didn't drain the fluid and then some jack wagon was sure it would fit under pipes well it did but not the dipstick. Needless to say as its rolling out I got my finger in the hole. Buddies over to side laughing messing with me would not give me the pan so finger still in hole. Meanwhile I'm saying "I wanna hear you say one more time it will fit as I told you guys it would not!" They had themselves a good laugh and my gloves got wet!!!! I will admit I was the one that raged and yanked it out and quickly had my index finger at the ready GRIN! Something about well come back in about an hour were going to Whataburger was mentioned.
I will install the flywheel next today and the bushing. I won't torque the bolts just yet till I have all my measurements. All goes well this should be installed in the coming weeks wired and I can order my driveshaft and install the seats and cruise. I won't miss the Wiloroc cruise this year and 100 miles will be a breeze in AC with this transmission smile!
