    1971 Cuda need input on trans options,and rear susp..
    « on: July 26, 2012 - 02:49:25 PM »
    Well I was wanting a 5 spd trans,but the prices I'm being quoted are 6000 to 7000 and that's way out of my range..so I'm asking what other options do we have with this cars other than cutting it up to put in a new model auto trans?Maybe I'm wrong but I could have swore the 5 speed trans kits for keslier was around 3500 or was I dreaming..also who makes the kit for this rearend

    I believe the new Passon 5 spd is 4K range & is a bolt in where the 833 fits .
     No clue who makes that suspension ?

    Yep Ridetech rear suspension and that is my 5 Speed cross member that I build for Hurst.  Please PM me with your requirements for a 5 speed.  I don't think I can get to 6 grand.  Give me a shot.  I sell for Hurst.

    Looking at it again - Isn't that Travis' car? It may be AlterKation's rear suspension.  Either will be nice set-ups.  There are a few DSE (Detroit Speed) items that will be coming around soon.  Hint. Hint.
