10 years apart and 2 different coasts. Malibu in 2013 for CPW Spring Fling and Daytona in 2023 for Sick Week. This car will stay exactly as it is until I get tired of it and want it shiny. Hasn't happened yet. You can even see how much more paint it has lost from the first picture to the second.

She's only 10, so there's hope she'll grow some. She's short, so I had here doing the rebar tie wire. Saved my back some.

Here's what I put in for my future 2-post. 8" deep, 16'x4' with no.4 rebar on 12" centers

I'll just weigh in here. I'm running an A904 behind my 5.7 with the 6.4 VVT/non-MDS cam. It rips on top, thought a little laggy on the bottom. At the strip, the lack of a good low 1st gear is a little sluggish off the line. I've killed 2 of them, but I am also spraying it with about 150HP of...

I rolled the car forward a few inches and the trans dropped straight through the opening and slid it on a towel out from under the trailer. I used the straps to lower it instead of a jack. SOOO much easier than a trans jack and the car on jackstands.

I built this trailer from scratch in 2008. It was originally designed to fit the '67 Charger perfectly, but the Challenger is short enough I can comfortably haul it and the Race Week trailer. It has an open center, allowing me to use it as a work platform. I just used it to drop the roasted...

I'll be getting the kit from Oregon transmission. I'll likely just ask for enough extra parts to make it truly universal and keep the spares for whatever ISN'T inside it. If it's just seals and stuff, it should be a small cost difference. Just making sure it wasn't the clutches or hard parts.

What's the short version of the differences between a 71 and 72 A904? I need to do a light duty rebuild on a 904 to get my car mobile. I don't know what it came from, but it is non-lockup, looks virgin, and the casting date on the tail shaft is about Aug of '71, which leads me to believe it...

Thrust angle FTW. Looks like about 0.75° to the left of center. I'll add about 1/8" shim in front of the right side spring hanger and see where that puts me.

that does seem to be the most likely candidate. And that's an excellent sketch of the situation. We'll see how the measurements look tonight

Yeah, I thought the couplet had a blind spline like the input shaft, so only 1 orientation. and I do only check the toe after backing up about 10', then driving forward with light brake pressure to a stop, and leave the steering wheel dead center, not offset to the locked position. I'll to the...

steering wheel straight = straight line down the road. let the wheel go, turns 10 degrees right. can I rotate the coupler on the box 1 spline and re-enter the tierods to match?

Moog Problem Solver offset UCA bushings arrive Wednesday. + Caster is definitely on the menu. I have the Longacre camber/caster gauge. Once I have the adjustability in it, I can try for a real number instead of the current "front adjusted all the way out and rear all the way in as much as...

Jacked up the front... Zero pull while running. I can set the wheel anywhere and it will stay put.

I'm working on my '71 Challenger (yeah, I know), getting it back into daily driver status. It has a Gen 3 5.7 swap and uses the Gen 3 pump, and yes, I know it makes way more pressure than the old style. I have the toe set to 1/16" in, all the positive caster the stock geometry allows (barely...
