WHY waste a race trans on the street... they shift hard and if its a manual shift you are always shifting it, there is a reason the factory didnt do it and in you big ride its just not fun

I later decided to put my interior all back to stock though and put a regular automatic in while I was at it.

I built the trans myself but it is mostly stock parts with the manual v/b and a bolt in overrunning clutch. I also use a Dynamic 9.5 street/strip converter that flashes about 4200 at the track and drives great on the street. Ron

No problems at all even w/4.11`s and an 8" vert but, a trans cooler is a must. I run a rmvb cheetah and LOVE shifting on the street. One thing that I`ve learned over the years is that a HARD shift is bad but a good solid FIRM shift is where it`s at..........Trans-go valve bodies gave a bang shift instead of a firm shift my cheetah gives. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....
