Very cool, Rick. Glad you are pursuing your dreams and making them happen, one shift linkage at a time. I want a ride in that car!!

You should Lou, its quite fun! Can't wait till the 4 speed is in and he's doing wheel stands!

When/if the wheels leave the ground I will need to have on my depends!
I don't think I need to worry about that just yet!

Looking good.

You may want to order those loose parts for the 833 from brewer's instead of passion in the future.

Get that 4-speed od in there and prepare to go slooow.

But hey you can run on I70 / 81 for more than 1 minute and keep up with traffic in the OD gear!

I tried Brewers and they do no have the 1/2 shift fork in stock. And they had no used stock.

It will be interesting to see just how much slower it is. In a really light car with 275 ish HP, I don't think it will be nearly as bad as it would be in a 3500 truck with 100 hp. Maybe some day I will run into a Tremec TKO or something for cheap. Then I will have to cut up the cross member.......etc. More project creep.



My only debate is with how low of a gear to run. It will be at least 4.10, but 4.30 and 4.56 are a possibility.

that's an easy swap if you have 3 little piggies built.

3.73s are good to cruise to Sebring, FL or Woodburn, OR and back at 75+ MPH. I'd start with 4.10s and see how they fly, if in stock already, or just stick with your 4.30s.

I was leaning towards the 4.10 also. I can test the 4.30s but they are on a spool. I also have 4.56s but they sing a bit too much for a a long term solution.

Doesn't the OD trans have a 3.09 1st gear? With a 4.56 you should drag the back bumper.

Yes it does, And so does the non OD 833 that I have out of the early 6 cylinder cars.

Tore apart, cleaned, lubricated two 4 speed Hurst shifters. Also welded on half nuts and tapped the main body for stops. These old Competition plus shifters didn't have them. They do now!

Where is that old shirt I had? "Shift as hard as you like, but don't break your wrist!"

Watch video of Ronnie Sox or Herb McCandless and shift accordingly.
