Title: Sending some 4-Speeds to Brewers
Post by: Cuda Cody on December 08, 2016, 08:35:08 PM
Going to send a bunch of 4-Speeds to Brewers next week.  Need to get them all on a pallet and ready to ship.  :)

Are you just having them rebuilt and cleaned up?  Any being made into an OD?

@303 Mopar (http://forum.e-bodies.org/index.php?action=profile;u=7) I'm just having Wayne rebuild them back to stock for 2 project I'm working on now and 2 more that I'll be doing later.  Some of them in the photo are just parts donors. 

Wee need to get more smileys on this site.   :D

Mine is on its way!  As soon as it left for Brewer's I started to wonder if Jamie might have been the way to go?  With 4.10 butt gears an overdrive might make a few more long trips that much more enjoyable... :driving:

@Chryco Psycho (http://forum.e-bodies.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4) do you know the way these days for the 5-speed?

 :rofl:  Some were for parts and others were extras.  Think he's going to rebuild 4 of them for me now.

What's the update on the Passon 5 speed ? That ended up being a classic "drop the ball" situation  :'(

@anlauto (http://forum.e-bodies.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19) I'd love to know the answer to that too!  Would be the best of both worlds!

I called Jamie a couple weeks ago to check on my 855 and he just said its a least another year.  This will be year 4 for me.   :bricks:

I really don't get how they messed the production up so bad. they clearly have a HUGE backlog of folks that badly want what they have. but they don't seem to have stepped up to the plate to increase manufacturing capabilities in the least. maybe its a way to ensure future sales go on for years (decades??)?

Yea somehow that's not really good for business. :tired:  He should have just sold the rights for the design to a manufacture that could actually get it done and just take a royalty :alan2cents:

Seems like he really didn't think it through.

It's not really a business where you can fake it to make it.

Not really, I originally had this planned for my '71 Challenger, then sold it for the Cuda. So I thought it would be cool in the Cuda. Then I got the '68 Charger so I changed it to a b body. I just changed it back to an e body with the 392 in the Cuda. Eventually I will get an 855, but not sure what car I will have by then.
