I've searched and can't find an answer to this. Plenty about the cable operated latches, but I need to see how/ where the release rod bracket mounts to the grille or valance, or wherever. All the 71s I've had were the cable type, so this is my first one with a pull rod and I don't know where...
My only worry was getting all the pieces correct, but I have now seen that Holley kit, and I also see that Mancini has a reasonably priced kit with the pickup and dipstick.....I just didn't want to run into mis-matched pieces and spin a bearing over some dumb ****.
In case anyone else follows up on this, I see that TTI now offers another part number header to work with the Borgeson steering box in this combination. :)
Oh I don't even pretend that I'm not prejudiced! Lol. I'm truly a mopar or no car guy, married into a blue oval family, and we pick on each other more about rides than we do politics. Lol. It takes me back to the old days of going to Nascar races with my pop in the late 60s and early 70s, when...
I can't help thinking that at least some of "those guys" are terrified of something other than what they've invested in gain value. I have to also add that, most times I've heard those comments, they've come from people who only have a mopar or two because they've become valuable in their old...
Awesome!..... that's the confirmation I was looking for! Any chance you also run a Borgeson steering box?...... that's my last wonder with regard to which mounts and headers to use.
This is why I was interested in the TTI mounts to begin with. I'm all but certain that I read here somewhere of someone using them for an E body and that the trans landed right back in the factory location, but again, I plan to use a 727...... at least to start with.
Now that you mention it, I think I may have blended two memories together..... I've got bad CRS! lol. I think TTI mounts were how the factory trans mount position was achieved, and the USTC mod was to keep the stock pan. I will admit that I wondered if that might be a bit too much to cut out...
I've searched in vain, but I read somewhere here that someone had used the USCT K frame mod to install a G3 and would like to hear some more real life experience about that mod. In thinking that whoever it was said that they were able to maintain the original trans mounting position for a 727...
I'm on my way to swapping a 392 into my 71 Satellite / roadrunner clone.....I know it's not going to have the gut wrenching feel of an old school big block, but I plan to leave it box stock for turn key reliability and little to no wrenching to keep it going.....I think that is the biggest...
I should have also added that my most recent one was a 73 SSP with a P code 4 speed, which had manual disc brakes and non power steering.....I had never seen either of those on a 73 or 74 until then, but it's possible it had been converted at some point, even though it was an original paint...
Reality is that none of them are ever truly lost. Somebody always knew, it's just that once the info gets shared with those who seek to capitalize on it, they do, and the internet makes it national news. Now the stage is set for those who can afford to make bids for it go up against each other...
