And the other truck the guy who built this one runs a 727 in it goes 11.2s all day and hasn't broke anything other then universal and pinion on the 9in. This is the first dodge trans I'm doing. I love my Mopars we have a lot in my family. Seven to be exact. I've always done the ford trans in my tow rigs most Suncoast part and precision.

Those rh's can live. Decent clutch packs and bands. Some had an aluminum front planet. You will need a steel front planet. I would rollerize the gear train. Billet input and intermediate shafts with the second gear updates. A light car Like that shouldn't be too hard on it. Wouldn't hurt to do a direct drum. We do these all the time. Can't hardly keep them in the shelves. One customer keeps us busy with his. 1600 hp on fuel only in a regular cab 4wd. It's a race truck but the convertor has become the weak point. Sweet build though!

Believe it or not those are the slant6 torsion bars. Lol being that the engine is moved back as far as it is it's really stiff up front. It's really amazing. Well test it and see where to go from there.

You can buy bigger bars if needed. I would gusset the torsion bar frame stubs that are left, if you aren't going to tie the torsion bar cross member back together. With the motor scooted back, you may not have room to tie it back together. As long as the remaining sections of the torsion bar x member won't twist, they will be fine. It'd be hell to come down from a hard wheels up launch....and the drivers side torsion bar jab you in the back of your left leg!
