Pete's 1970 440 'Cuda
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 22 6:01 pm
Well, no sooner do I get a car than I pull it apart!
The 'Cuda was built as an Auto from the Factory, but at some point during its life in the 'States, a 4 speed was installed.
Therefore, it seemed to make sense (to me at any rate) to:
a) put it back to its original configuration, and
b) make it a whole lot easier to drive in UK conditions, to get all the 4 speed and its associated paraphernalia out and install a TF8 (A727).
So Blue and I picked the hottest day of the year to rip the car apart and sill EP90 everywhere.
Heavy old stuff but it's out.
Complete 4 speed set up with the bonus of an 18 Spline Hemi A833 Transmission, Centerforce Clutch, Release bearing, Arm, Z bar, Bell housing, Hurst shifter, and a 4 speed pedal box - so that was a bonus....
I hope that we can get the 727 in and working before the Nats - fingers crossed...
