    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    I Love the tall Hurst pistol grip! So what did you end up doing for shifter bezel/boot? Love that Sublime color btw

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    The outer stud ball gusset was already there and looks fine. I think it was just a mismatch of parts that I used.. although I think I was pretty thorough on selecting. Oh well, I guess it happened for a reason, and that reason was to go hydraulic!

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    Well after much messing with it, I decided to stop and take it to a shop where they actually have a lift and all the tools to make it all happen. I don't normally take any of my cars to any shop, but got recommended this one by a good friend and decided to try them out. I also needed to have my...

    I'll have to double check the part number for the bal stud, but the description was supposed to be for this exact combo.. I di notice that the frame mounted ball stud looked a bit crooked but didn't think too much of it until I installed it all

    Yes, that's what I'm thinking as well, but I made sure to get the correct bellhousing ballstud from Brewer’s. I researched it quite a bit for this exact reason and then came up wrong at the end..

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    Got the exhaust tacked and bolted together. I'm still having rubbing issues with the z-bar and the header, might end up having to take it out and re-modify it so I can actually install the clutch rod and finally be able to drive the car. It seems like the z-bar I got from TTI to use their...

    Yep, it was supplied with the kit from American Powertrain. I didn't even know it would be offset until I got it. They might sell it individually.

    Yes, I used a 70+ B-body shifter boot/bezel and has plenty of clearance. It should fit yours like a glove!

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    Finally got the interior done. I ended up using a B-body shifter boot and placed it sideways to fit the offset shifter. Not stock looking, but at least kept it mopar parts.

    Thanks! I'm trying to keep the stock look, kind of hard to do with a non mopar trans and kit haha.

    More progress.. Tunnel done and driveshaft in

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    Yeah, it helps to keep it as stock looking as possible

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    American Powertrain kit does provide a nice quality driveshaft though, with any u-joint you want!

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    I love 68 Barracudas! The cost for mine was cheaper due to the fact that I'm keeping the old school mechanical rods, not hydraulic.. though it would have been nice! Also, the automatics don't require much cutting because of the contour of the tunnel. Not the case for 4 speed tunnels though...

    Here are some pics of the clutch, bellhousing, and the cut made for the top brace.

    Tremec TKX conversion in A-body!

    This will be my first 5 speed swap, and I am so excited to be able to go on the highway without either going on the slow lane, or redlining my engine! So far this has been a pretty straightforward installation. I went with the ProFit TKX kit from American Powertrain mainly because they were...

    1971 Dodge Demon clone

    This is my new project! Turning a 1976 Dodge Dart Sport into a 1971 Dodge Demon. Got all my parts off this really cool salvage yard called Moore's Auto Salvage, they specialize in Mopars so they had several 70, 71, & 72 Darts to choose from. I'm glad the boys at Dodge made all of the mounting...

    Hello to all!

    I've been a long time Mopar fan. I had a 80's Camaro as my first car at 15 and then bought a mid 70's Mustang a couple years later. Boy, was I a confused teenager! I finally sold them both and bought my first REAL car when I joined the service in 04'. It was a 1971 Demon that I bought in...
