As the title says, big block torque breaks parts. As you saw in previous videos, the big bad Bird has a new C6 transmission with a lot of upgrades including a Broader transmission brake. Before leaving Cope Racing Transmissions to bring my car home, I did three quick test hits. That 521 cubic inch big block Ford makes a ton of torque. The first test hit felt fine, the second felt a little funny, and the third test hit... well the traction lock decided to say goodnight. No biggie, I was planning on ditching the 4.30s and a traction lock for 4.86s with a spool, I just happened to have one laying around the shop.
In this video we are up at Kyle's Hack Shack wrenching away. We have quite of bit of work to do, but tonight we are focused on swapping the center section in my 1968 Ford Thunderbird. Our plan is to get it swapped, inspect the axles, and call it a night. No smokey burnouts or even testing it out, we know it will be a late night and don't want to wake everyone up, ha! Stay tuned though, I am sure 2 Hacks Garage will be doing some Cuban test hits sooner than later!!
