good deal. I cant wait until spring to see how my face plated trans works out. The only problem is my track is going to be 1/8 mile until sometime in May

This will be the first time I handled a face plated trans, it will take some time to get use to. Especially on the street, when trying to down shift. What track do you run at?

Wisconsin International Raceway. We use to run my dads car at Norwalk for the Ten Grand Nationals but havent been there in a few years. Since they moved it from 4th of July weekend

Good deal, thanks Phil

Here is a link from when testing the KarKraft adapter intake plate to use a 5.0intake. But, it's only for a DOHC 4v?? Now I'm not sure that KarKraft even made one for a SOHC 2v..?? Also, try contacting Reichard racing: http://www.reichardracing.com/

you will love your face plated trans. getting use to it on the street isnt too bad. u just have to make fast, firm shifts. same thing goes for down shifting

Sounds good! As soon as the snow is gone and we get a good rain to wash the salt away, I will be driving it on the street.

WOT shifting with a face plated trans is like no other. Im kind of anxious to see how long mine holds out.

How long you been running your trans on the street/strip? What trans do you have?

This particular one, I have no runs on and I only took it down the road for a quick spin when I got it put back in the car. Im running a custom TR-3650

Here is the custom stainless distributor hold down clamp I machined at home. It bolts to the original factory cam sensor location on the cam cover.

Yes I am, I did all this at my dads shop on the manual machines. I could do them at work. Would have been a lot easier if I could have. Im affraid that my week link with this trans is going to be the shift forks.

Very nice. I think when I end up doing my build, I am going belt drive and putting the distributor where the alternator is

Jeff Chambers modified and I machined the MMR distributor drive set-up. Here is an offset bushing I machined to dial in the distributor alignment to exhaust cam bolt.

You are not kidding!!!

The last time I drove my Mach was at Norwalk back in Oct, 2007. I ran 10.80's and a pair of 10.70's with 10.73 @ 128.63 mph being my best. This was on the factory long block, factory 3650 trans and 175 nitrous shot. Of course gears, Hoosier 27" tires, drag suspension and weight reduction all included back then. Best trap speed was 129.10 mph.

Hell, I have been working on my 5.0 tempo for a long ass time. Started it when I was 14. Its on the back burner now tho
