Temporary Engine going in for Carlisle and summer driving while stroker gets done.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Trans parts are here. Reverse manual valve body( lots of button pushing!) ultimate bolt in sprag, billet drum, 4.2 lever, deep pan. Also going to need to upgrade to a Dana, but that will be over the winter, those suckers are expensive!

need to use a 64/65 cable shift trans.
FuryJim is working on a cable setup to use a more torqueflight in these.

Spiff - Showing my ancient MOPAR ignorance. Will the pushbuttons only work with cast iron case TorqueFlite or will the system work on the newer ones? Guess I know next to nothing about the pushbutton system.

MANY moons ago I remember seeing a drag car with a sheetmetal column coming out of the floor in about the location where a 4-speed shifter would be. On top of that column was a set of pushbuttons. I thought that was SO cool!

Caveman!! what's good? Blew another head gasket.
Full reverse pattern and pushbuttons!!

Hey Spiff - long time, no talk. Good to hear from ya.

What finally killed the 413? It was only a couple years old right?

And is that push-button gonna be FULL manual? Your fingers are gonna be busy brutha.

[Spaceman Spiff]

The 413 gave up the ghost, so this winter she's goin under the knife for a 512 inch stroker. and getting a/c as well. a new trans with a reverse manual valve body( still keeping the push buttons!) and a new fuel system. not putting a tire on her, as i don't want to scatter the 8 3/4, and prolly won't be able to afford aDana till late next year, with all the other things getting done.

Wow, I haven't seen chrome rims in ages. They look good, period correct but I also like the Draglites. How's that 500 coming along. Labor day isn't that far away, we need pictures!
