Based on a little napkin math I've run a little over 10,000 gallons of 87 ethanol gas through my 383 since I bought it in 2013. I have revved it till valves float plenty of times. I've climbed the Rockies with it twice on 85? (whatever low grade is in Denver). If it's done any pinging it clearly...

That front kit is very similar to the one I got and includes the same calipers. I've heard lots of people say they had good luck with SSBC so maybe I'm the odd one out. I also had to modify the brake lever arm to get the correct length. I also went for the 14" wheel kit and regret it now. I...

I'm definitely interested in pictures and how yours went and your opinions on it. I got a SSBC kit for the front and had a pretty terrible experience all around. Parts of the kit that didn't fit together, it was advertised as compatible with the factory booster, the rotors were warped out of the...

A shifter with stops seems to be a requirement from what I've heard. With all the extra leverage of the long shifter I'd probably break something quick. My experience is almost entirely 4 speed truck transmissions and a bit of time with a Spicer with 30' of linkage between the trans and shifter...

That seems like solid logic. Based on what I've seen here it seems like the Dana60 may not be the best choice for me. I've fallen for the "car show" and "hot rod" solutions before and been burned for it. Nearly every comment here can be used as an example. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures...

6th on a Viper T56 is .5, not .74. I have no interest in how it will do at 60 or at 70. I've crossed Kansas at 4300 rpm before and don't care to do it again. Feel free to do the math at what speed that puts me at with 1:1 and a 2.76. A 3,23 gear is more likely what I'll end up with when its time...

I did some looking and couldn't find any proof anything was ever a 2.76 and a 4 speed. If that's the case I ought to be fine. Its certainly going to be a different world from my Dodge that its the governor at 4mph in low 1st.

I'm mostly just keeping an eye out for the right deal. I'm not in any rush to replace the 8.75 but if I can I will. I'll probably be forced into replacing the 2.76 gears mostly just because nobody seems to make them and at 242k if I open the axle I want to put something new in. A 3.26 will still...

Here's my leaky pile from while I was installing the FiTech (don't). 242k on the clock and it will still happily drive a thousand miles in a day. I've been driving it since I was 16 and it has never left me on the side of the road.

Looks like they don't make them anymore for this application. Their Mopar section is a bit bare. I have a SSBC kit on the front and had a pretty terrible experience with the company. I got a box of parts that didn't fit together and since I was an 18 year old student at the time I didn't fight...

I plan to go with Firm Feel stuff for suspension. I haven't decided quite how stiff I want to go on the torsion bars as its a bit of a crap shoot trying to compare it to 50+ year old worn out ones. I certainly wouldn't mind it cornering a good bit better but need it to be soft enough to drive 14...

I read through this one but it didn't seem to go anywhere with the stamping and is mostlly 4 speed pictures. I already have pedals.

Swapping gears in the 8.75 would get me the gears I don't want and still no disc brakes. I won't be swapping away from 2.76 unless I am already swapping to a Dana60 because the Dana60 doesn't have any gear taller than a 3.23. If a Dana60 2.76 was available I'd get that. I'm really not here to...

I'm not really interested in burning rubber or stoplight racing. I am interested in how far I can stretch 25 gallons of gas across Kansas. I'll eventually end up swapping to a Dana60 for cheap rear disc brakes so I'll have to bump to a 323 if I remember correctly. I still haven't decided if the...

I already have people telling me I won't be able to use 6th and that I'll just stall it trying to start every time unless I find the weakest clutch available. I get blank stares when I remind them my 1st will be deeper than an a833 1st. 6th will be perfect for cruising without spinning the...

I finally pulled the trigger yesterday and picked up a Viper T56 with the .5 OD. I've been chasing efficiency and high speed for a while so this was the obvious choice as soon as I heard it existed. There seem to be plenty of options for hooking a T56 up to a big block but I'm interested in what...
