Removing the tabs on the 8 speed

[roadrunninMark]

For those of you that have installed the 8 speeds, did you grind off all the tabs on the sides to allow it to fit better? Grind all the way to the case? I am trying not to cut my car up to get it to fit so I would like to move as many or all tabs. Are there any that should not be removed?

 

[roadrunninMark]

Here is the ones I am talking about... any others or that is all I need to remove?

I have not done this but you should be fine going almost flush with the case , it has to be strong there if they are mounts .

I cut the middle 1's & ground them flush measured with an ultrasonic guage i had casing seems to be aroung 4.5mm thick around the thinnest mid section

This is all I had to grind off. I am using the RMS front setup with the motor mounts moved one inch forward though. You can also see in the picture that my breather got crushed. It is right on the floor pan/fire wall seam so I had to flatten it a bit.

What adapter are you using for the transmission output?

 

[AUSTA]

HTG Tuning for the splined adaptor

This adapter is HTG? Their website looks like it hasn’t been updated in over 5 years, and I don’t see it there.

Thanks for the replies...

What is the 90 degree piece you guys are using for the breather and where did you get it?

Am I reading that right?.. 966AA5 PA66GF13 I tried looking that number up

 

[roadrunninMark]

OK, I removed 2 tabs and 1 case "extension" per side.... here is before and after pics.. I didnt remove the left side tab that is closest to the torque converter, waiting to see if that is in the way, along with the threaded tabs that stick out above the cooler lines.

I think that’s the filter part number. 99% sure this is the assembly part number in the picture. All mine came with it installed.

Thanks again, ordered.

Hi guys. I just got a 6.4 with the automatic. Looking to put it into a 70 Challenger that has a tired 383 non-original motor car. I am seeking your guidance on trying to avoid chopping up the chassis if it's feasible. I was told that Holly has an engine mount kit that moves the motor/drivetrain 1 inch forward that helps getting it away from the firewall etc. I'd like to upgrade the front end suspension with this install. I've seen the RMS? setup and QA1, with the larger brakes added. Any sharing of what you guys have gone through would be greatly appreciated. Stock 6.4 motor, would get the stock looking digital dash guages as well. Rob

I am using the QA1 K-frame, moves teh engine forward so no firewall issues, you can photos on my blog:

1970 Baracuda Restomod Begins

Hello folks, so this is my second restoration project I will be documenting on here. I bought a 1970 Baracuda this week from a gentleman that got over his skies in this project and I will take it from here. Pretty basic Baracuda was 318 auto, will now be a Gen III Hemi- 5 speed manual when...

I used TTI motor mount brackets with the stock K-frame and had no firewall issues whatsoever. I did use the stock TF-727 though, not a late model trans.

I know this is old but did you finish the car? What trans mount did you use? I'm using RMS 1" forward but need to find a trans mount.
