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.

Here is a little update on the drivetrain. Won't be a 340 any more! Just arrived this week! 5983527-DSC07575.jpg (252 downloads)

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. 5983529-DSC07585.jpg (196 downloads)

Barnabas_Kriss OP master B Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 2,679 Maple Ridge, BC, Canada	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. 6032675-DSC_5628.jpg (179 downloads)
