4-speed conversion: progress...

Made some real progress last saturday. My good friend and Mopar-E-buddy Davy made me use his garage. Big thanks for that! Here's some shots...Was too busy wrenching and getting all greased up so I didn't have too much time to make some nice shots.

We're almost there. The A833 is in place but the transmission mount didn't fit and the starter didn't fit because of the stupid headers (damn I hate those). So almost there!

Middle section of exhaust system removed.

The John Cope tranny finally made it to the ground.

Tranny cooler and shifter removed. Flywheel is waiting for assembly.

We had to remove the gril to get the trannycooler. This is a familiar shot.

Red on the operating table.

Jowan (left) helped me (right) out. It was fun!

Clutch assembled! I used an old prise-axle to align the whole sjabang. Works out fine.

4-speed conversion: Z-bar mockup

Did a little Z-bar mockup today. Refreshed the grease, gave it some new seals and washers on the drivers-side. The spring is not going to be used because of the Centerforce pressure group.

4-speed conversion: to the operating room

A833 has been moved to the operating room today...

4speed conversion: final mockup

Calibrated the shifter:

Red is smiling at the A833...

4-speed conversion: small mock-up

I couldn't resist having parts laying around and do absolutely nothing...so I made myself a little mockup. It looks nice...Ofcourse, things have to be painted.

4-speed conversion: Brewers parts

I ordered a long list of parts at Brewers Performance. They're a real pleasure to do business with. Today, the package arrived...
