Thnx Unknownsnake.
TT'74, I haven't installed the new tranny yet. I still need a converter, but as I'm visiting The States in October/November, I'm going to contact Lenny at Ultimate Converter and have him build me one, which I'll be picking up. I can take it back in my luggage and that's going to save heaps on freight.
Apart from that, I did actually break an axle a few weeks ago as I shifted into second. I pulled the shafts and measured them and now have a set of Strange Pro Race axles in there. While things were apart, I also exchanged the 3.73 gear for a 3.42. I am liking the 3.42 a lot better and will like it even more with the A518 once she's in.

Good deal, glad to hear it's making some power.
I've finally got all the OBD2 stuff working in my car and now the tranny lost some solenoids, so I'm waiting to get it back from the shop. I figured since it's out I'm just getting it built + a converter. Then I can get the turbos back on.

I put a 4 way fitting on the oil pressure port on the back of the motor. One port goes to the oil pressure sender and the two others feed the turbo's. I have a restricter valve in the lines.
Just a further update on my Dart. The A518 has proven to not be able to handle the power of the motor so I have recently ordered an extreme TH-400 with Reid SFI case and bell housing from Hughes Performance. I also ordered a 9.5" bolt together converter. I'm looking at swapping out the rear end for a bullet proof 9" too, but am still orientating at the moment. I will need to decide before ordering a new Mark Williams drive shaft as it will affect the length I need.
I also recently swapled the 72# injectors for 160# ones and exchanged one of the Bosch fuel pumps out fo a Fuelab Prodigy 1800hp pump as my injectors were going to 100% duty cycle and fuel pressure wasn't keeping up with boost at around 5500rpm and 13psi boost. I run 100% ethanol now too.
