    I've been planning this conversion for 2 years now. I purchased the complete kit from SST Transmissions. For those who are interested, the complete kit was $5700 USD shipped.

    I have a 4 speed pedal assembly from a 65 (supposedly) B Body ready to install into my 64 Polara. The connecting pedals bracket seems upside down (bent down and not up) and interferes with the steering column support bracket. Is the column support bracket from an automatic different from a...

    I'm considering to purchase a reproduction Max Wedge oil pan from 440 Source for my 426W in my 64 Polara - their part number 200-1154 replacing Chrysler's original part number 2402307.

    Cone Style LSD

    I have a couple of cone style LSD's currently in 741 cases with 3:55 gears. Is it possible to determine on the bench if these will need a rebuild or not. Without actually testing in the car, can I tell if they will function as designed by a visual bench inspection.

    Just received my TKX package from SST for my 64 Polara. Currently my car has an automatic transmission. I'd be interested to see a photo or two where the clutch linkage rod passes through the firewall - either a factory setup or ideally, anyone else who has done this conversion. My install will...

    TKX Conversion - Slave Cylinder .625 vs .750

    Last bit of homework before I order a complete TKX kit from SST. I like the idea of a shorter throw (.750) pedal but at the expense of a harder pedal. I know the "feel" of a harder pedal is hard to describe in words but I'm throwing this out to anyone who has experience with both the .625 and...

    Pulley Alignment

    My water pump pulley is about 1/8 inch out of alignment from the crank pulley - should I worry about this? I could shim water pump pulley out, but fan to rad space is tight. Will 1/8 inch out of alignment cause issues?

    TKX Conversion - SST Supplied Hydraulic Clutch Components

    In conversation with Shane at SST regarding their hydraulic components, I asked about their supplied master cylinder vs a Wildwood unit. He told me their supplied unit is identical in every way to the Wildwood except the name. Does anyone have any experience between the two? I see a lot of...

    Probably will get several differing opinions, but I'd like to hear what others have to say about a safe RPM limit for my 426 wedge. By safe I mean keeping the engine together - all the parts.

    2 Groove Crank Pully

    Just installed an ATI Damper on my 426 Wedge. I knew that the stock crank pully would not line up with my other pullies. Damper is offset 1/4 inch farther out, so I need a crank 2 groove pully that measures 3 inches deep and not 3 1/4 inch which I currently have. Not sure if Ma Mopar ever made...
