I am starting a V8 swap into a factory automatic 2wd truck (due to condition/availability/aesthetics the auto truck was overwhelmingly the best vehicle) and.....
I need to convert the pedals. I know it would have been easier to buy a manual truck but I LIVE IN MEMPHIS where people drive into EVERYTHING every day and hammer the crud out of their vehicles. Demolition derby in the midsouth, Mississippi too. Not many good candiates left to build!! So I broke down and procured a floor shift era auto chassis.
Anyone have a set they could stand to sell?
Thanks in advance, new member who has been lurking and learning much for the last few months. This website is truly amazing with an info and member resource base beyond belief.
For confidence, just search "corerftech" for my existence on forums.
Build is
2001 Mountaineer with 57k miles on engine, only 4 years on road before it died in a crash.
Tremec T56 from MDL
4.10 rear, T-lok
Alston 4 link with cantilever
Edelbrock ProFlo4 with engine converted back to distributor.
Swap in box head set
In future: Edelbrock heads and a new cam. Once basic function and tune is stable. And funds manifest.
