That's cool. Why did you start with such large spacers last time? Maximum Motorsports makes some really nice ones, FYI.

I think I got caught up in the brand name and I knew I would be getting the brembos... eventually.
I am experiencing difficulties with the tremec tr-3550. Specifically shifting in to second gear. Whether it’s on the upshift or downshift the trans won’t go in to second. I have to try over and over before the lever goes into gear. I am going to save for a t56.
Let me know when if you're going to sell that 3550. I'm looking for one or a TKO. I might even have found a great deal a top loader...but kinda want OD.

Sure! Truth be told I am a hoarder of sorts. I have trouble selling. I am always thinking someday I am gonna need that... Also there is the obstacle of acquiring a T56 Magnum in my desired ratios to fit a windsor bellhousing, that I cannot afford. But as soon as all the stars in the cosmos align I will let you know. I’m gonna go buy my lottery ticket!
For what you pay for a new T56, they'd better put whatever ratios you want in there!

Everything is rattlin’. It needs a lot of work!

OK... In my endeavor to use an aero fox dash I am using original aero fox chassis wiring. I am attempting to pull all of the chassis wiring now. The chassis wiring is coming out of a 4 cylinder car. I believe this is gonna be a problem with the alternator wiring. That; I believe can be easily remedied. I happen to have matching year engine harness laying around. The goal is to be as stock looking as possible. It is definitely going to be a challenge. The car actually runs great. It starts right up and it idles fine. I just need the full effect... a good parking brake, a fuel gauge that works, and a nice ride. It handles great but all the rattles make it a little harsh. I also neglected to install spring insulators at all four corners. I am gonna try factory Cobra front springs and see what they do. While I'm at it I will put poly insulators on all four springs. I know it has a great stance to it and the suspension never bottoms out but I think an inch higher with a slightly cushier ride would make it perfect.
Sounds awesome. Let me know what I can do to help. What are you going to do for a parking brake?

Ever do anything with the 3550?

What is it with videos on this forum? I don’t get it.
Videos of donuts are cool on any site! If I switch to a turbo 2.3, which is my current plan, I am probably ultimately going with a T-56 to get a more gear and more OD.

Re quote this, and it'll show you the way to apply the link to your Youtube. It has to be Youtube, not youtu.be.
