rear 31.5 tall tires have a sectional width of 15-1/2" .....should be good with 1-1/2 plus on each side of the tires.

'Cuda fuel tank.....high and tight.

more mock up.....working my way to the back. Went with a Strange 9" w/ 3.25 gear. Originally planned for a Strange S-60 but the lowest gear available was a 3:55 this combo will put Butch at 1820 rpm at 70mph with the .75 overdrive engaged............@ 5200 rpm he will hit 200 mph. SHAZAM!!!!!

.......will there be a lunch flip involved?

I'm still grinnin'......and it as more than a decade ago.

I saw them sketched on a cocktail napkin at Somma's Pizza / Plum, PA a while back. They are for coil springs but the pivot points is what were needed. They will work A-OK for making a jig to fabricate the next step.....mock-up LCA arms.

I'm sure it will get an exhibition pass somewhere. Butch is itching to go 200 mph.(again). Me, my (pucker) limit would be somewhere around 150.

I'm guessing .....55K 25K in labor 20K in parts 5K machine work 5K misc / hotels / fuel / travel your time....priceless

mock-up is my favorite time of year!

Thanks, and I see they have a bright red option. I'll be ordering color samples. Butch likes a tan, I'm a fan of the bright (porno) red, matching the bright red exterior scheme reminiscent of his 73 Pro Stock Duster. There will not be any silver on the car like the rendering, what appears to be...

Looks like you already started on the fix. .....accelerate to plan B

The plan, which I am already azz deep into, is a street strut using the SN95 spindles and QA1 Mustang strut. Numerous reasons why... but this was my best solution. I basically adapted 96-04 OEM Mustang geometry to my front subframe. The $100 OEM Mustang arms are used make a jig for building a...

over time, the project switched from 4-speed w/ GV to the OEM 8HP90 8-speed to (hopefully final answer) the TCI 6X Gen III / Outlaw shifter (automatic) package. Butch worked with TCI on the converter specs. We liked the transmission gear selection with a .75 overdrive. It does fit the OEM...

with the arrival of the 6-speed auto and the Hellcat / Road Runner build at the body shop back, time to get back on the HDK / Geni III / Whipple / Butch Leal resto-mod.

Hate to have to be the one to break it to you, but your journey has only begun. Oh, you can check out anytime you like....but now, you can never leave.

tunnel mod for the 8HP 70

Thanks, carried over from my street racing days in the early 70's, my favorite say'n was.....it's a stocker. my 69 GTX....in 1975. It was my first car I bought in 1971 at the tender age of 16. .....and yeah, it was a stocker.

couple more....I know you guys like pictures.

Maxi / mini tubs with 4-1/4 width stretch came out pretty good. Between Fog (the HDK fabricator / welder) and my friends @ Boutwell Customs....these things look almost stock...ish.

headed back to the HDK shop. Time to mock up and completion of the 8HP70 transmission mount / crossover support.

Just like the OEM look of the offset Mopar shackles.

Like you, willing to slightly narrow the rear to keep the wheels / tires tucked in. 275/60/15 on 8" rim with 4" backspacing. Cut the housing down a total of 1" and took 1/2" off each axle, Dr.Diff off set hangers on front , Mopar offset shackles on rear.

show.....and go!!!!

God speed Vern.

I bet that color change was a meeting of your minds.

I'm planning on it.

It puts the transmission with adjustable cross member reinforcement as high as possible in the tunnel without major surgery. The crossmember transmission mount is adjustable front / back and up / down. If I was doing an OEM K build, I would use the HDK transmission mount / A body version, do a...

HDK B- body version just out (first three pics)......no floor cutting HDK A body version in the works. (last picture) for 8HP70/90 includes adjustable height transmission mount reinforcement and install template

the fuel pressure gauge takes me back to the 70's, One of my Chevy buddies tried to have every Sun gauge know to mankind mounted on the cowel. I remember having one on my Get-X, but I couldn't get myself to drill mounting wholes on the top of the cowl so I made a bracket to mount it on the lip...

I would be surprised and happy if the Holley pan fit. From measuring, I think it is too deep in the front. I usually run the Milodon #31003.
