Skip the transmission. Direct drive it and hit it with a straight -8 line nitrous hit.

Little lower, little cooler, bigger sounds.
It REALLY needs a manual.
But I'm afraid dumping the clutch at 4500 rpm in this thing would turn most of a manuals innards into outereds...and maybe my legs into hamburger lol.
Just a lotta weight, and a lotta bite.
Best bet would be some cheap steel wheels and 29" tall 235s or something.
Crappy part is I just junked a full set of stockers with caps and rings I'd held onto for ever

I never said I am selling the 8.1
Some inspiration for you.
Probably just needs to bleed the air out of the clutch line and it'll be fine.
I think it'd be a lot easier to break em free with like a 6l90, or even the dodge 8hp70.
Something with a lot lower first gear.
But with the monza coming..... I think I'll be able to get my burnout fix whenever needed lol.
That one's gonna be Chrissies car, and she wants to set it up for the drag strip.

LT Dan ain't got no fenders!
Measuring for turbo pipe placement?.....View attachment 518558
I wish lol
I want to put a set of these in.
The enudura pins are supposed to be the chit for these trucks.

My pin bushings were so bad it had eaten into the hinge. So new bushings just cracked and fell apart due to the oblong hole.
I drilled them out and just put normal bolts in the holes for now. Like 2 years ago lol.
With the endura pins, you can choose the bushing diameter, so I can drill my holes out to the right size for them.

So, I don't know if this was the way to do this .. it's technically the first major body work I've done unsupervised lol.
I wanted to make the lip, smaller, and less dangerous to my tires if they do hit.
I figured to cut it on that silver line in the top pic.

I didn't want to try and but weld the 2 pieces back together after that... So I got some 1/2"x1/16" square tubing. Ground off opposing points.
Cut one side, and split it in two.
Then made a piece out of it to fit my cut part.

That aught to clear. Or at least not hurt anything if my tires rub.
I also plan to put the stiffer springs in, and cut to sit 1" higher than currently in the front.
Hopefully that'll keep the tires from eating fender.
Id REALLY like to figure out a good way to do this same thing to the rear fenders easier.
I know it's kill the burnout thing, but I'd LOVE to see it with like 305's under the azz lol.
Maybe I should do 2" shorter tires and swap (again) to 5.13's lol. That'd help

I've placed a few orders with him before. Shipping can be a little slow, but good products otherwise. Was easy to deal with when I called him looking for parts he didn't list for an application I had.
