hey moparman82, it's a 69 roadrunner im working on as well car is in great shape, i am still wondering what to do with it but started to stiffen up the chassis.going to tie the frames,add torque boxes,and i made my our cowl to inner fender stiffening plates and probably make the lower rad support bracing as well. it's a 4-speed car i ended up doing a mini tub to the car wasn't sure if i should have but to late now also going to move the springs in under the frame you can get alot of rubber in there now!!. as for power still debating either big block of some kind but also thinking of a gen 3 hemi combo. anybody have any ideas?  and here is a pic of the wifes 69-d-100 13,000miles.were all mopar for sure. thx bruce

hey thx guys yeah i know they go under the carpet will fix later, another question i have is i am wondering about a clutch and bellhousing 10.5" or 11". maybe ill give passon or brewers a call and see what they recommend behind one of their 18 spline trans.  thx bruce
There is no reason to ever use a 10.5" clutch , the 10.95 " fits the same & will simply take more load or last longer , I prefer the Borg & Beck Long style pressure plate which is only available through McLeod .
 Passon has started to supply the 855 trans now , 73E got the first one approx. 1 month ago but there is a list of people waiting for them so I would not expect to get one soon but definately worth the wait if the car will be sitting over winter anyway .

Hyd is awesome , I have used it in 4-5 builds now , with the right combo a heavy clutch will still feel light on the pedal . I am not sure what Passon is supplying for  clutches but I like McLeod
