Thing hanging over the Mopar camp is if converters are going to have to be SFI since that's where the ring gear is. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

I don't know if that helps you but I am looking to sell as I don't need it anymore and had it past the return window. PM me if interested.

It caused one small nick in the wrench access opening. Then I saw one header tube sliced. Not one scratch inside the bell housing. I dont know when it came off. Starting or during the run. Never vibrated which is pretty strange. That's a lot of weight. Doug
