Ermahgerd......my one uncle had a '69 Ford short bed, 302 w/3 on the tree and manual steering (huge steering wheel). He refused to fix the linkage so sometimes 2nd gear could not be found, it would just grind.............so back down into first, rev it up some more, then pop it into third.

Cars wise, at least in the US stopped at 1972. That's when the neutering began and commenced the dark ages that lasted a decade.

Hence why I said good luck.

GLWS, unfortunately these are available free on the web...hell they're linked on this site.

An 8HP90 was used in the Demon 170.......so you're saying you have north of 1025 hp & 945 lb-ft......?

More than that...officially 5139 vs 6258 They're using a 3.55 in the SRT Bee because of that insane first gear ratio (4.71) hooked to 680 lb-ft. Probably the best trade-off for fuel economy and acceleration. I have 3.92's in my truck with an 8sp and 1st gear is almost useless in any situation...

We do have a rather lengthy discussion thread about it....a stock 8HP90 or a built 8HP70 fits the bill nicely. 90's live behind 650 lb-ft plus all day. It actually isn't an electronics problem at all. Only need the trans, an e-shifter (you have to figure out how & where to mount it) and the...

NA to NA, as listed from Mopar on stock street tires, the 10 RC 04 hits 60 faster vs the 392 Rumble Bee (4.9 vs 5.2, which is pure torque), which is surprising considering the traction advantage (AWD + standard 285's, with 325's from the SRT as an option) the newer truck has. The 10 loses the...

Copperhead? Like from the late 90's?

It's the same one in the TRX and so far I haven't heard anything bad yet and that's including the fact that squeezed more power out of that setup. 2015 the Hellcat engine with the 2.4L blower was 707 hp, then a few years later it was 717 hp. After cancelling hemi production, then wising up and...

This might be the first time I ever trade a vehicle in.....

My late little brother was obsessed....they ended up taking a number of trips into PA to take him to Strasburg and the train museum there. Ironically an old grain warehouse that is now a large antique shop that used to be on that same set of tracks is where I bought my boat. ALCO built 25 of...
