A lot of mine are from the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's. If you have Brass engines they can be expensive. all...

    It didnt go so well. I will explain. we had about a 120 mile drive to Irwindale. after about 110 miles we were on the 210 Freeway by Pasadena when my daughters shifter came loose in the 2019 Hellcat 6-speed. She had replaced the factory one with an aftermarket short throw (Barton ) shifter. I...

    Age old question, which clutch?

    You are probably right about normal pickups, but these are Viper powered sport trucks, with a lot of them used at the 1/4 mile. Just my personal experience the truck was much more responsive with the aluminum flywheel. Even before I started taking weight out of the truck, it felt more responsive...

    Age old question, which clutch?

    Good that you got the aluminum flywheel....CaptnCrash is 100% wrong. Years ago when my truck was pure stock I switched the factory flywheel to an aluminum with a centerforce clutch, truck was more responsive and with headers and tuning I could be driving in 1st gear and just punch it and break...
