DITCH that SLUSHBOX! The Best Kept Secret in Racing Manual Transmissions!  

Great car. Cool video.

Like the speed play Dallas wanna see her flying next time good show ✌️

That car is going to be a lot of fun to drive. Really enjoy seeing some Buick content.

Would you please do a show on the aluminum Land Rover V8 (3.9/4.2 with distributor, 4.0/4.6 with the distributorless setup) and what head-piston-rod-block combinations can be built using buick hardward? Will a 350 crank fit in the 3.9? what are the best heads? what rod and piston combo would work with that 350 crank? what about lifters and roller cams? Can SBC hydraulic roller lifters be used wth a custom ground roller cam in this config? etc? I am looking to build a naturally aspirated 3.9 based stroker with (relatively) mountains of low end and mid range torque.. Not a race car.. ideally in the 300hp 300ft-lb range.

looking great

The way I explain gear ratios is, think of how many turns on the input shaft equals one turn of the output shaft. The more turns is like adding a longer arm on the end of a breaker bar you're applying to load over a greater Distance by having more turns

Very Nice !

Thanks

Cool car

Very nice! That Buick red looks great with that gold!

🚒👍👍 I got one of those transmissions internals sitting in a bucket. Don't know how many ribs it has in the input but I'll have to look now.

LOOKING GOOD.👍👍👍👍

Man, I can’t wait to see how that thing runs!✋🏻👍

Cool Transmission!

Great informative videos always

You might think about making a drop crossmember for your transmission. I had to drop my toploader about an inch so the driveshaft would clear the tunnel.

Lookin' great~

That buick torque is gonna melt some faces off in a class where high winding small block Chevy seems to be the norm

Nice car!! What brand and model # are you going to use for headers?

Don't have to tell me twice! Less plumbing, less fluid and less headache when I have to take it apart 🤣

Very cool info Dallas. Were the shifter mounting pads one way to identify the super t-10? Been decades but I remember seeing that pattern in the parts books.

Basically the more torque multiplication you ask the transmission to do in first gear the less reliable it will be. Someone should have a billet case designed...stronger material to begin with and easy to add material to high stress areas....also I wonder if there is space to add some type of reinforcement to the case...I wish I had the money laying around to mess with all of the ideas I have...just buy one and see if it's possible to weld reinforcement to the outside of the case or drill holes and add a tensioning device with plates on both sides to spread load over a larger area of the case....also I'm no Buick expert but is that a 455? Weren't standard 455's 2 bolt main ? And the rare high performance ones 4 bolt ? If so I'm now curious how far you could push a really well balanced 2 bolt bottom end...800 ft pnds and 7000 Rpm? What about the 4 bolt? Now I need someone to loan me a large sum of money so I can get this information for you guys... wouldn't want to deny you this very important information

Mr.rodder it me again with the Buick 455 boar30 over I am putting the mother in a 68 Pontiac firebird just need some advice on camshaft and spring stock heads that been work thanks for the help

Those are some stout transmissions,. Do you know anything about the new process 4 speeds? I picked one up several years ago, didn't know if it would be good for racing.

I am curious what valve covers you have on that 350? They look like 66' and earlier 300/340 ones but I thought they had a different bolt pattern than the 350.

So how are u going to replace the floor? Could I find a donor car easily? My floor is rusted out, so I need a new floor, if u happen to come across another floor would u grab it for me? Thanks man!

Is it me or does the engine and trans look like they are sitting a bit high. Actually that might work well for weight transfer on launch. Especially with those narrow Hoosiers in SEGA S/S.

Personally I blame...squirrels

Car looks good 👍

i like it,whats the music
