So after doing some more research, it seems if I have a 10" drum spindle the Willwood brakes will offset my factory drum trackwidth to +.20 if I have a 9" drum spindle it will off set my factory track width to -.08 so I learned that not all pre 73 spindles are created equal, I don't know if a 9"...

The Wilwood brake kit for the 72 and older spec to have zero offset but they have 3 different kits, the tires are 26x6.0015LT Mickey Thompson, the rims if I remember correctly are 4" or 4.5 with zero offset. I paid a good buck for these because they were in very nice condition, you can't buy...

I just needed to confirm the 73 and up was 3/4" on each side wider, and if I use a pre 72 spindle with Willwood brake conversion if that would bring them back in. 3/4" should give me more than enough room. Modifying the fenders any more than I have is not an option, honestly I don't care for...

I know this subject has probably been beat to death but I am looking for some clarification. I currently have a 73 and up front brake setup that was installed by the previous owner, this and the B body rear worked fine with the wheels that were previously on the car (which were off a n early...

Thanks for the response! I looked them up and they show a stand alone for a crate engine but nothing for a engine trans swap.

I have a very solid 67 Barracuda with the trusty 440, the engine has been good but it is time for an update, I want to drive the car cross country on Rt66 and I found a very low mileage 2018 392 scat pack engine and 8HP70 trans with the factory PCM, harness, gas pedal etc. Does anyone know if I...

Never tried them do they bolt up with no problem?

I know this thread is old but recently I've had some very bad luck with MARS, they rebuilt the generator on 35 Plymouth twice and the car still broke down from it not charging, took it to Forest city electric and found out Mars never rebuilt it inside, the windings and wires were shorting out...

Do you have linkage that hooks to the carb linkage so the trans knows when to disengage the lockup? And when to shift etc? The Extreme website states the stage 2 trans shifts at 4500, I left an email and tried to call Lonnie but I hear he's a one man show and very busy, I would hope it wouldn't...

I believe the Extreme trans offers a 3 disk setup? The switch sounds like a good option for cruisin, I have seven vehicles and two Harleys so it is sometimes hard to remember the exact characteristics of every car. Haven't driven this paticular car in a while because of our inclement weather.

Like I said, it is over 3k rpm cruising down the road at 55-60 which is not comfortable, we go from what is the best OD trans to fit in an A body to what are the precise numbers of your rpms vs mph? Like I said who really cares? Anyone who has driven one of these cars with 26" rear tires 355...

I wanted to take my car for a spin to refresh my memory on excact numbers that were in question IE rpm vs mph an so forth but the county decided to dump salt on the frosty roads this morning, lets just say driving between 55 and 65 my engine turns at an rpm which makes me very uncomfortable...

But officer, I was told my speedo was reading in kilometers!

Just for kicks if the road is clean when I get home from work I will try to get the car out and recheck my road numbers for accuracy, my speedo is off buy we checked it with my 2008 chrysler, my speedo reads 90 at 55.

I can assure you the numbers I gave are pretty close, my rear tires are 245/45/17 which is around a 26 inch tall tire. Cruising down the road it's at 36 not 26 at 55, maybe going 60 but no faster, I have mini vans passing me for pete sake. It has been a couple months since I drove the car but I...

That's a ton of info, going to have to examine that closer after work tomorrow, my next question was answered, the weight difference which is signifigant. I need at least a 2800 rpm stall, I'm running a 440 with a 727 and 355 gears, I ran a 12.40 in the quarter blowing the nitto drag radials off...

The 4L80E can be converted to manual shift with a trans brake etc. with a valve body that Extreme offers for about a thousand bucks otherwise you can buy a stand alone setup for about 500. I probably can get a 200R4 that will hold up Extreme has one they advertise to hold 700 hp for 2300.00 but...

It could be just his opinion, he is actually a very competent builder and knows the owner of Extreme very well, he build transmissions for a couple of the tv street outlaw guys and a bunch of local racers here Drag and stock car guys, very reputable. I wanted to see if anyone had their own...

I talked to a very competent trans builder a couple of days ago, he called the 200r4 a tinker toy and would likely burn up at the track if you thrashed on out on the street, basically he said they were good but not for longevity because the clutch packs, and other components are still small and...

That is very interesting and disturbing at the same time, definitely something to keep in mind.

Thanks and Merry Christmas! I want to note that for not that much more money (like 500 or less) I opted for raised lower chord trusses so I have ample room for a lift inside, I was limited due to county restrictions on my roof height, the peak is less than 21 feet, I have a ten foot high door on...

This is a Cleary building, 42x72, I was originally going to go with 30x50 but I decided I want room to walk in front or behind the cars with toolboxes etc against the wall, It is roomy so its easy to park a car in and get out without bumping into something else or banging car doors on things...

Thanks! I was hesitant to go this route because the car was so clean with no rust or patches on the floor ever, it spent it's whole life in southern CA. There was no real good solution for the parking cable, not sure what most guys do but it looked like the cleanest way to go for me, I wanted it...

I went with US CARTOOL, a lot of work but they look almost factory when finished. Nothing your are getting done in a day, plan on scrapping your fuel and brake line. Note the rear torque boxes from US Cartool as well, the fronts are there too but almost impossible to see in the picture.

Looks great! Don't care much about pattern as long as it fits and looks like it could have been original.

It needs door panels, seat covers, carpet etc. the mice got into it, hasn't been licensed since 83

I can say if this was my car I would have assisted in the strapping myself, if I wasn't there I would have had a competent person or detailed instructions on how I wanted it tied down and make them send pics prior. Most car carriers aren't setup to haul a shell and have probably no clue, they...

I am wanting to buy 64 Valiant signet factory v8 but the interior is cashed out, was searching the web today and everyone shows 65 and up for Valiant and nothing for 64, they list 64 and down barracuda but are they the same or different as far as door panels and seats are concerned? Thanks and...

I agree 100% it has happened to me, Almost all of these companies broker trucks though so its hard to avoid, when I use Montway I tell them I want a company owned truck not a broker and I am very specific and blunt about it. They haven't let me down yet, I might pay more but I hate third party...
