[Mr. WHO]

^Nor can I wait for you to finish this!

Well, the trans is supposed to ship on Monday. So, in preparation for it, I installed the trans temp gauge.

Marc, you have one fuse in upside down. Looking good.

That actually made me laugh. I ran out and fixed it!!

The shifter handle showed up today from Yates. The handle came out of David Ragan's 2007 Sprint Cup car. It's kinda cool that a lot of these parts were once used by real drivers. The handle with the knob weighs 3.2 ounces.

When do you start fabbing the headers?

 

[lethe]

awesome build. I wish i would have looked at it closer when i was there the other day.

 

[Marc s]

When do you start fabbing the headers?

As soon as the transmission is in. I ordered all of the mandrel bends, merge collectors, and flanges.

Are they staying in the car after they are done or being sent out for duplication?

Staying in the car. I got tired of dealing with Kook's BS so I will build them myself.

It sure would be nice if they were done before the dyno day. I'm dying to hear that motor at full sing rpms.

Word's cant even describe my envy...

If I get busy and quit messing with my truck, it might be done.

You should get with Alan at SOS for a kick ass panel for the gauges and switches.

It's the little attention to detail on these show cars.

Those are great. I will do that.

 

[gil_t2]

Great build, wondering what quick release you used for the steering wheel. I need to order one but I don't want a weld on.

hey mark for the speed you could use the skydrive from classic instuments. its a gps modual that converts to a signal that will work with the autometer speedo and veethree makes one as well. we have used them on some of the hot rods as well and they work great

I was reading on Autometers site that they just came out with a GPS speedo in the Ultra Light series. It only goes to 140 MPH though. I spoke with Autometer and the said they will build me a 200 MPH GPS unit.


On another note, I received an email tonight that my transmission is done and it will ship out tomorrow from Charlotte NC. He sent me a few photos of it. With the dual handcuff, this trans is rated to 1050hp and is designed to be upshifted and downshifted without the clutch. As I understand it. they are loud as hell too.

 

[Mike K]

Good old dog box huh? That's badass. I know the rally cars that have dog boxes are loud as hell and sound like they are going to fall apart any second.

 

[Sky Render]

Why do you have a transmission temperature gauge? Are you using an automatic, or is that to monitor the temp of the gear fluid?
