Guys, my project is about 50% done, so will start to need to make some final drive train decisions pretty soon. Sent back original rockers we bought, didn't feel very strong. Ended up going with Hughes Engine's product; heard lots of good. Sent back the deep Milidon pan (7QT) for a smaller (6QT) Milidon product. The project, all in all, is going well.
I'm hearing some VERY good reports on the Passon Performance 5 speed. Sounds like it's stronger than the Hemi box 18 spline with a 5th gear that bolts right in with shifter in same place, etc. Yes, prices is high at nearly $5K I believe. But, in my opinion, that upgrade changes the car in a major way.
That said, I already spent $1,100 rebuilding the original 1969 23 spline A-833. I'm told it was brought back to new condition. A couple of questions:
1) What can I reasonably expect to sell my rebuilt A-833 for assuming I get the 5 speed?
2) What are your thoughts on the Passon solution vs. say the Gear Vendor Overdrive upgrade?
As always guys, thanks for the advice. John.
P.S. Got the wall knocked down in the garage (used to be a T.V. room) to make room for the "soon to be" Road Runner Man Cave. LOL>
