Brake pedal bushings are available from the dealer, part# 2467770, the clutch pedal bearings I got right here on Moparts from another member, unfortunately I can't remember from who.

IIRC I sent you my last spare set.

The Chrysler bearings have been NS1 for a while, but if you can find a Torrington B88 needle bearing, that should work inside most of the pedals.

Some /6 cars used brake pedal bushings on the clutch pedal pivot as well.

My orignal plan was to go with a Tremec 5-speed (which I already have and test fitted), and a W2 stroker small block.
The plan is now changed, I'll stick with the 5-speed, but the engine will be different. I'll let the cat out of the bag a bit later.

Thanks for the input guys. I emailed Wayne Brewer and he said he had the bearings. So I'm going to see if I can do mine. Hope it turns out that nice.

69bronzeT5 - unfortunately it won't be ready for mopar madness, there just isn't enough time to finish by then.

Here is a little update on the drivetrain. Won't be a 340 any more! Just arrived this week!

Brand new 6.1 Hemi crate engine, should go well with the Tremec 5-speed! I plan to incease the power a bit. I'm going to run a FAST EFI system, swap to a Comp Cams camshaft, XV intake and the heads will probably be CNC ported. Should be good for 500-525 HP.

Let me know when you're ready for the FAST XFI kit. I also have many 6.1 HEMI programs (392 and 440 CI too) that you can use to get started.

I'm ready for one...when they come down to a more realistic price like $500.00? Seriously, no attack intended, but why is it that I can get a well equipped Laptop for around 5-7 Bens but can't get a PCM for the same? I know your gunna tell me about the R&D effort it took to get it to market...but if they were to lower it down to "common people" level....they'd sell a heck of allot more....just my .....I'll stick with the factory stuff...allot less expensive....works just as well for a daily driver..

I would have left a classic engine in it as well, but it will be a great car just the same!

Oh well, that means I get to drool over the Challenger again this summer. By the way, it's Cody (with the Duster who bought the Rallyes off of you and emails you )

Here is a little update again. I have been working on the fuel tank, to convert it to EFI. I decided to fabrictate my own, as the ready to install converted tanks cost $800+, and they don't have the proper baffling inside!!! (Actually they have NONE!!!) I can't imagine those tanks work very well with EFI when the fuel level is low???
Anyways, I cut open the top of the tank, fabricated some baffles (only partially visible in the picture), and soldered them in. I bought a universal in-tank fuel pump kit (about $250). Once installed the tank looks 100% stock.

Part of the fuel pump mounting kit, and the piece I fabricated for the top of the tank to clear the trunk floor.
