    Sweet ride!!! What wiring harness and trans combo did you go with and how hard was it to get everything to mesh together?

    I bought my harness from modern muscle performance, it's a hotwire auto kit with a 2005 dodge truck PCM.    I am running a t56 magnum which, once I got the correct bell housing fits. After cutting out the trans tunnel and torsion bars. But I bought the entire kit from American PowerTrain. Everything except for the crossmember which I got from a vendor on here also. 
    The six speed is great but not sure if I would do it again over a five speed that fits with a lot less work.

    My drag racer friends say if it is stock mopar suspension, adjusting the pinion snubber to about 1/2" helps launches, but during city driving it will whack the floor a lot. :2cents:

    I see in your garage is my second favorite car (ebodies first)  71, 72 RR.

    I'm running a four link with coilovers. I gotta be honest I wasn't expecting the car to be able to really spin the tires. I know the coilovers are adjustable which makes a huge difference but I need to really start practicing some launches so I can go to the track this spring. My gps speedo from speedhut has a 0-60 and 1/4mile timer,   Out of two tries with the new tires the best so far 0-60 is 5.4seconds. 
    That's my brothers 71 in the garage, it's next on the list.  Funny how side by side they are very close in size.
