I just bought a V-8 conversion out of San Diego. Was looking for some input on it. I know the Tranny is a weak point in these conversions. Has anyone had any issues with these blowing up at high revs? Also any idea of what my future looks like with this car? Maintenance, headaches, anything un expected. I am a first time poster and am looking for any info i can get. I posted the link below.

Buy a spare throttle cable and clutch cable and keep them in the trunk. With the v8 heat the clutch cable might break. The throttle cable is always something that has the potential to break because of all the bends required for the carb.
Just buy factory style Terry cables from Pelican Parts or similar, nothing custom here. |
