Look at you, lucky man! Cheers!
I was thinking of using a 200 4R, but after reading this thread, a 42RH seems like a better idea. While it appears that the A500/42RH was used beginning in 1988, what are the best years and applications to get cores?
BTW, this thread is great.
Dodge Dakota, the newer the better. 87-95.
All the pics are a fuzzy as to the tranny clearance to the fabbed in crossmember. Would anyone have a close guesstimate on that?
Yes, so the engine maintained the exact same location and angles as factory.Also dinging in the floorpan ahead of the crossmember was mentioned.
Can any of the original crossmember be left in place?
The overdrive unit is too large, there is no room for the bellcrank through the floor plus no mounting bracket for the tab on the other end.
Thanks. By crossmember I was refering to the Chassis component not the trans support(lower) crossmember. When you added the 1/4" support over the tranny how much clearance was left between it and the trans?
I might be mixing things up here, assuming console shifter is the same as standard floor shifter... am I?
I have a console automatic car ('75 Dart Sport) and would really like to keep everything looking stock. Has anyone solved this allready?
If there is no ready solution yet - does anyone hav a good suggestion on alternatives?
Thanks, Bengt
Awesome thread. Subscribed for future reference.
GDonovan,
What part of Connecticut are you from? Always cool to see threads from local members.

Grand total APPROXIMATELY 1285 rpm which would give a final ratio of .64 which for me would justify the expense .
