Cool project! I always wanted to convert my Imperial to a 4-speed manual but parts availability (and prices) have put me off. :(

Do you still have your 4-speed stuff?
I kept some of it, but let a lot of it go.
Mighty fine, Nick. Looking forward to following your progress.
Progress will be slow, but that's life.
That's my boy talkin there.
I found a pint of Hemi Orange buried in my paint cabinet that a friend had mixed back in 87 for his Superbird's U code, I checked it and it'll be perfect for this.
 
Not much to report, just been picking at the 440 between other stuff, TRW 9.5:1 pistons, resized LY rods, with ARP studs, Clevite Bearings and Hastings piston rings, Made in the USA goodies

How do you like that ring compressor? I bought one of those in a kit and have yet to use it

It takes some getting used too and selecting the right size ring is a pain.

After you get it, it works well, it's nice that it's locking, this is a Matco set, but they don't make their own tools anyway.
