This definitely gives me something to think about.  Off to do some research on the A41 transmission. I am wanting either a NAG1 or 8HP90. Even considering a 4L80e  :looney:

Still not opposed to a tremec 5 or 6 speed
1973 Cuda. 340 4 speed.

Here are a couple more pictures. We went with Hotwire for the CPU and all the wiring (including cruise control) Put an access door in the trunk so I could get to the fuel pump if need be. Heater box and AC all redone.

Looking good ! I also have the A41 kit , its been in the car quite a few years now with no issues!

That is great to hear. I plan on driving the car and taking road trips with it. What gear do you have in your car with the A41? And what does it spin at 60 mph?
I had 3:55 in the Dana but found I was driving faster than law enforcement liked. So I installed 4:10. I found my engine combo didn't like at or below 2000 RPM sort of felt like it was lugging( 65 MPH). So with the 4:10's it's now about 2300 RPM's which is perfect for my combo. Great around town too!

At or below 2000? Wow! How is traction with the 4.10? What do you have for shoes under her? What motor are you running? HP? TQ?

I think around 2000 with an almost stock 5.7 (headers & CAI) will be great? I plan on taking it on long trips. Like Woodward, Carlisle, and then taking it down Rt. 66 from start to finish, Chicago to LA!

3:55 might be the ticket for you, especially with FI . I wouldn't go any lower numerically though. Mine is a 451 stroker engine, hyd roller cam , etc.... traction is fine using Azenis Falkin 615K tires though.

@Brads70 no wonder you were attracting attention from law enforcement! I keep kicking around putting a Pro Charger on the 5.7, but I need to leave this thing alone and drive it! Or I may never get it finished! LOL

Subframe and core support are in!
