    Trans and rear end question

    Another option is to use a small block 727 and a Gear Vendor's overdrive. That is what I have done in my 73 Road Runner. In theory, you can split each gear to make the 727 effectively a 6 speed, but I have not found that to be realistic. 90%+ of the time, I simply use it as an overdrive once I...

    Can you convert an e-torque engine to conventional?

    Mine's lucky to get 18 MPG highway running 75-77 MPH. But that is with "up to" 10% ethanol and my truck has the 3.92 (maybe 3.91 - don't remember exactly) optional rear and lots of other weight, so I'd assume it will suffer from those options. Understood. I figured (and confirmed later by the...

    Can you convert an e-torque engine to conventional?

    I have an e-Torque in my RAM (not planning to remove it by the way). Some pros of the system are that the start stop system works well. I seriously HATE every start stop system I have ever driven; they suck. But this one doesn't, because it uses the "alternator" to start the truck back up...

    Can you convert an e-torque engine to conventional?

    I have a RAM with the e-torque. In addition to what you list, the special battery should also be removed (I think it might be behind the rear seat?). The e-torque also moves from 8 to 4 cylinder operation during low demand periods. I'm not sure if that is simply software controlled or if there...

    833 to hemi ?

    Per the article: "While it’s confirmed to be a no-cut fit for E-bodies, B-body tunnels will require a bit of massaging to gain the TKX’s extra gear." Now I just wonder what "a bit of massaging" means? I can't help but be cautious and even a bit cynical about that statement. When I installed my...

    833 to hemi ?

    The TKX seems like a really nice transmission. Strong and small. Where does the shifter sit? Can you put it in the stock location or does it sit in-line to the transmission?

    What is the easiest efi setup for a carb dummy?

    I installed a FAST EFI system. It was not easy, but most of the issues related to an ECU problem. I hate to say it, but I don't recommend it. My system also controls timing though, so that added some complexity. An EFI system, regardless of what you choose, needs to be thoughtfully and...

    New Hemi vs Carb'd 383

    X2 I would add that if this car is going to be a daily or frequent driver, then the advantages of the new Hemi are greater. If you will only drive it occasionally, then you will do a lot of work for very limited reasons IMHO. By the way, I WILL judge - NICE CAR!
