18 spline "Hemi" 833 Mopar transmissions have just been blessed by Passon Performance, overdrive without changing your case, no mods to case or car

http://www.passonperformance.com/images/stories/passon_documents/Passon_Overdrive_Flyer_20091109.pdf for the info, but in a nutshell, here's the good news

21% decrease in rpm in each gear
Stronger than the factory 4 speed
can be swapped into your 833 case with nothing more than a gasket set
$1800 for the kit, $3000 for a complete trans already converted

And you don't have to change anything on the car, not the shifter location, the trans tunnel, the driveshaft.. nothing needs any changes outside of the transmission

the authentication sources online to get the nitty gritty down low on your muscle car

From Musclecar Review, May 2011 issue. Like I've said about this and other magazines I subscribe to, you need them, they are fan damn tastic, and incredible resources

Darrell Davis, the guru of the Max Wedge 416 and 413

If there is anything you need to learn, know, or research about the Max Wedge motors, you just need to buy the right book that Darrell has written. you can find them at http://www.kramerauto.com/products.asp?cat=9 and they are very limited print runs, the Max Wedge cars by serial numbers book had only 200 copies printed

Lots of data and cross referencing, like the number of Max Wedge Polaras, number of MW Polara 500 Convertibles, or MW Polara 330 station wagons. Just one.

least known way to score a Ferrari engine

Buy a Lancia Stratos. It had a 2.4 liter V6 Ferrari engine. Bertone coachbuilt the bodies.

It won the World Rally Championship 3 times.

They only made 500 for public sale

The Lancia 037 won the World Rally Championship, beating the Audi Quattro, and was the last 2 wheel drive to win the championship

The Lancia Fima 8.32 had the Ferrari V8 from the Ferrari Mondail and 308 . It was a 3.0 liter though, and he body was by PininFarina

Or if someone should stumble over a lost ASA 1000 Gt. Not going to happen, they were very very rare and were only built from 1963 to 1966. They cost 40% more than the nearest competitive car, the Alfa Giulia Sprint

These were sold at Plymouth dealerships in 1968 and perhaps 1969 as well. They were also sold, from what I understand at the traveling performance clinics given by the late great Ronnie Sox.

This drag racing game was given out as a promo by Chrysler-Plymouth. It features cars from the 1968 model line.
The components include six plastic cars (two Barracudas, two Road Runners, two GTXs), three sets of cards (18 for each car type), and plastic pegs. Instructions are printed on the back of the board.
The game features photos of drag racing drivers Buddy Martin and Ronnie Sox. The box cover photo shows the Sox & Martin GTX.

One is for sale on Ebay, and that seller thinks someone needs to part with close to 200 dollars for a board game they'll never play, but sit on a display that no one will likely look at, and won't be allowed to touch. 200? Ludicrous

There are some of these for sale on Craigslist, ebay, etc etc.. and none of them were ever played with, all are NOS, untouched... and they likely will never get used ever.
