now that my 3.2 conversion is up and running I have a few bugs to work out, and i'm hoping to gain some knowledge from others that have been there done that.
My car is a 74 that previously had a 2.7 and now has a 3.2 with a KEP stage two clutch PP set up, stock DME 3.2 , and Rich Johnson mount. My questions are: 1. How is your airfilter routed with pics please. My AFM is in it's semi orig location and my current cone filter is just barely hitting the lid. I have a smaller diameter cone on order, but wanted to see what others have done. 2. I was told, that my Pilot bearing on the tranny seems to be turning all the time. My engagement is closer to the floor than i'm used to but even with a small spacer on the clutch cable end, i'm still at the end of thread for the adjusting nuts. Is a bigger spacer the answer or am i missing something specific to the kennedy set up that I should do. hopefully this made sense, I have pics on my home computer i can post later. TIA Ferg. |

I am very happy with the conversion.
The 3.2 is dangerous enough for me. I don't know how the V8 and 3.6 owners handle all the power. I had to put 245-45-16's on the back so the car wouldn't spin out because of the throttle induced over steer. I guess a limited slip would probably help alot. I think you will be quite happy once its all sorted out. I built mine about 3 years ago. I have had so much fun driving it I don't want to take it apart to fix the clutch issue. |
