    Thanks for the words of wizdom, I'm going to order up a pair of AMD bumpers!

    AMD repop bumpers or rechrome?

    I am wondering if anyone here has had experience with the AMD reproduction bumpers? I am looking at getting a pair for my 71 GTX as the originals are in really bad shape, twisted dented and the rear has a hole from where the trailer wiring plug used to be. Anyone have an opinion on whether...

    What are you other interests? Besides B-bodies...

    Same as a lot of people here, I'm into guns and hunting. I have 4 young children so we do lots of family trips to the zoo, hiking, camping, swimming ect. Also I've got a CNC plasma cutter that is an awful lot of fun to play with. I really like useful antiques like tools and such. Especially...

    6speedGTX Progress!

    Well, as promised here are a few pics from when I picked my car up on Friday. It felt pretty awesome seeing it go down the road. Definitely a motivator to get this baby up and running!

    Is this a trustworthy rebuild kit?

    In a previous career, I spent 10 years or so rebuilding engines. We used a pile of those engine tech kits. I couldn't tell you an exact number, but I would estimate around 100-150 kits went into engines out of that shop. We never once had an issue with any of the parts. I wouldn't hesitate to...

    Im getting out of options

    I've run into the same problem with a couple of magnum small blocks. Spark like crazy at the coil but nothing at the plugs. Both times it turned out to be a weak coil. The spark wasn't strong enough to jump multiple gaps. Put a new coil and ran like a top.

    2 1/2 vs 3 inch exhaust

    I'm with Kern Dog on this one, the whole idea of needing back pressure to create torque makes no sense. The size of the exhaust pipes from the primary tubes back needs to be correct for the RPM range that you are targeting. Although this is an article out of a Chevy magazine, there is some good...

    Viper T56 install

    As far as I know, any of the t-56 shifters that utilize the rear position will work. None of the mid-shift ones will fit. Core shifters has several on eBay, the ones with the billet housings look good. They sell them as a base only if wanted and also offer them with different pivot points to...

    Best oil pan seal???

    747, I don't know if you are running a wind age tray or not, but this wind age tray gasket combo looks like it would work very well. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/502001/10002/-1

    Viper T56 install

    For anyone interested in doing this swap, I stumbled across this module to control the reverse lockout solenoid using the VSS signal similar to how they were controlled from factory. http://www.samocoind.com/T56MODULE.html

    Viper T56 install

    That crossmember looks really good, I don't think there'll be any strength issues there! I admire how fast you are getting this swap done, you'll be rowin' your own in no time!

    WTB Shock plates and front spring hangers

    I'm looking for a pair of front leaf spring hangers and shock mounting plates to fit my 71 GTX with an 8 3/4. When I was younger I had decided that I would put an RMS Street Lynx setup in this car and subsequently got rid of all the factory pieces. 4 children and several years later I have...

    Good to know. I've never ordered anything from them, just stumbled across their website. Perhaps Benno has more insight.

    Viper T56 install

    The pistol grip shifters with the correct 6 speed pattern can be found here: http://www.proformancepowertrain.com/mopar/transmissions/shift_handle.html On the Viper slave cylinder, I believe they are designed to have the bearing touching the clutch fingers at all times and be roughly in the...

    Viper T56 install

    That's looking really good! It's hard to believe how fat those T-56 transmissions are until you get them up and into place, looks like you trimmed off the same tabs as I did. Thanks to everyone for the input on the pedal set up, I haven't gotten that far yet but I know it will be good info to...
