6.4/8hp70 finally up and running and ready

I'm surprised a flat hood fit.

So they got the 8HP to work using the old shifter? Or is the new shifter hidden under there? Any details?

Very cool. I've always thought the 8HP would be perfect for a drag and drive event.

The stock tire diameter on an SP is like 28.7", so if your tire is shorter than that you might be very close to the stock 3.06 ratio the Scat Pack runs. And you are probably 600+ lbs lighter.

I like it. I bet it runs hard and cruises nice.

great point on the gearing. The R/T Auto LX cars run 2.65's. and they run mid 13's at 4300 lbs with 380 HP.... this thing should scoot!! I'm curious as to what the converter does with 800 less lbs...but lots of guys just pullout swap these w/o re-stalling, so curious as to what he reports! I've seen some diesel 8HP converters used in faster cars, much like some used to seek out the "6 cyl" converters on some of the GM stuff for higher stall. cool project.
