Not really, you've never impressed me as the kind of guy thats scared of a little modification... Off memory your Imperial may have a little more room to work with, fact is I seem to recall because it's full frame the torsion bar crossmember doesn't pass over the top of the transmission so there wouldn't be much of a problem...

Not really, you've never impressed me as the kind of guy thats scared of a little modification... True, but I'd like to avoid hacking the Imperial. It's disturbing how little room there is around the engine and transmission in a car this size. Changing the plugs takes longer than it did in the hot rod with the turbos. The trans tunnel is pretty small too. I've been looking at this thing from time to time trying to figure out how to stuff the turbos in there. There's lots of room for the turbos but getting the plumbing run without messing with all the other systems is a mess. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse.

Their first question for you would be how/where you got it. A car-sized version of that would be pretty cool, but we'd have to turn to Audi (I think) to get one.

Slapstick shifter works too. I plan on doing the same mod. I'm just curious on converter...for non-lockup. They say, that you should get stall speed that's less than what you cruise at 65mph. With 4.10 gears, and with a .75OD (3.07) and 26" tall tires, that means running 2600RPM. Does that mean I have to get a 2500 stall 'verter? That seems kinda low if you got a hot street engine. 70 318 Chally vert FC7/XW (sold) 06 300c SRT8 04 2500 QCLB 4x4 HO 1971 BMW 2800CS 1955 Nomad 1970 280SL

Is that true? I never knew that there was a difference in the crossmember area between the years. So, is there a difference that affects the install of a 518? Master, again and still
