Hey Kim, I haven't been on the FABO site for quite some time. Hope all is well with you. A few years back you had some 340 parts for sale (block). Just wondering what you might have left . Take care.

I called Passon Performance over a week ago and left a message to call me with the status of the 5 speed, no return call yet. As far as the Keisler goes, Having a transmission on order for an indefinite amount of time for a product which officially exist isn't really an order. Guess I'll just go...

Bump, any news on the Passon 5 speed. Prices, availability? I would call them but I doubt they are open on the weekend.

Well Macho, I'm sorry to disapoint but not much has happened to the car since the last post. Another summer and winter has slipped by me due to some big changes, moving the machine shop out to my acreage consumed my summer and still left me without a place to work on the car for this past...

Well Small Block, I'm usually asking for your opinion not giving mine but in this case you have to consider the fun factor... 340 4 spd all the way. I don't know if the Demon with the 6 banger has a ton of value as an original. Kev

I don't think I'll be buying anything of theirs, twice now I've been waiting several days for someone to return my call, last time it was over a week. Then they get mad at you when you tell them they are hard to get ahold of and thats to sell you something, wonder how long it would take if you...

I decided that ....FAT? LOL I guess you meant fast and no it wasn't fast, I've been laboring over this decision for 3 weeks now and if I don't do something soon I'll be looking at my car taking up room the garage in pieces for another season. I still have some bodywork and paint and subframe...

mshred, I did go on yellowbullet as you suggested last time and found some info but maybe I'm not lookin in the right place. Sounds like a lot of guys running stock T-5's in fast cars and had good luck with them. Also saw a lot of trash talk and bad language(sure aint FABO), and what's with ****...

7172 Duster, thanks for the dyno results. I think that it would be a close comparison. You have 20 more cubes but less compression and smaller intake valves, maybe not too far off those numbers. dgc333, are you running drag slicks or street tires? I'm running a 750 DP, should help with my...

Welcome to FABO. Sorry I can't help you with the rear. Kev

What kind of times are you running in the 1/4? Kev

Anyone others?

So according to the first 2 responses, the horsepower and the torque would be roughly the same? Acording to those numbers, a transmission rated for 450ft lbs of torque should be adequate so long as I don't go too aggressive on the clutch.... right? Kev

Nice work, way to go! I thought you young guys went for rice burners with super traps and a big *** sub in the trunk LOL. BTW, it's OK to put a big *** sub in that car too. Have fun cruisin. Kev

Well I'm still stressing out about which 5 spd to put in the 71 Duster and torque specs always come into the picture. Problem is that I have no idea how much HP or TQ this engine will make so if any of you racers or engine builders care to make an educated guess, have ater. This engine was built...

That shop looks great, beautiful view too. Bet you can't wait to finish it and start pullin wrenches. Kev

Ya, I read the site info and it sounds like a good idea if you are starting from scratch, but to put more money and work into changing gears when the diff is new and ready to go doesn't make sense to me at this point. I honestly have to say that right now I'm leaning toward the T-5. All the info...

318, 340, 360. All good engines. Kev

For my 2 cents, I'm no race expert but did do a little bracket racing when I was younger and couldn't afford good gears so I'm gonna guess that with the tall gears it'll bog so bad at the line that high 15's will be the best to expect. The 4:56 is a tougher call, given the taller tires I'm gonna...

Richmond looks interesting but the 5 speed is 1 to 1 final ratio. No good for my 4:30 gears, the 6 speed is much larger. Interesting though is that when I took the pumpkin out to inspect it after buying the car, the ring gear had the double diamond stamped in it. I didn't know who the...

Welcome to FABO. Didn't know they had drag racing in France. Learn somthing new every day! Kev

Well, as usual I'm battling over the decision of which 5 speed transmission to install in the Duster. There is some good info on this site regarding TKO and T-5 transmissions. I've had some members PM me with some additional information and opinions about this subject and I appreciate the input...

rpmmogoose, do you do anodizing? Kev

Thanks, I'll contact him. Kev

Roger I could do some stuff for you. Let me know what you need. Kev

I spoke to someone at American Powertrain today about Tko 600,s and T-5 5 speeds. Some really interesting information about both, pro's and cons. The T-5 is smaller and lighter but has the shift rail along the top so there seems to be some question about clearance to the torsion bar mount and...

Thanks for the link, some very cool pics. Kev

I can do the machining of the bellhousing myself if necessary,would only take 3 or 4 hours. The problem with dealing with Keisler is that they say they have a 3-4 week backlog and from all I've read about them, it's more likely 6 weeks by the time it gets to me in western Canada. I'm not really...

Steve I'm checking their website now, looks interesting. Kev

Todd, which final drive ratio did you get and why do you have the TKO 500. It sounds like you haven't had any shifting issues, what are the particulars of your car: HP, gear ratio, 1/4 mile times. Are you glad you did the conversion? I would love to see a picture of the modified case to do the...
