    I wish I had found you before hand but! I went with Silver State myself! Went from a 3 speed automatic with a 4,000 stall B&M to the Tremec Magnum 6 speed 😁 they were simply amazing they put the entire kit together for my car, and again perfect fit, I’m having it installed at Car Effex in New Jersey (I no longer have a shop to work on it myself) and they got the transmission shipped faster than I thought possible! Came with everything that was needed to install and Car Effex charged me less than $3k to install it. Totally worth it $8,437.56 to save on fuel and actually have something that won’t bounce off the rev limiter in 3rd gear at anything close to half throttle! They are sending pictures of the build but I will be doing a video or two once I pick it up with the upgrades! Next is a full suspension upgrade to actually make sure I survive 750 WHP in a car that is the same age as I am 😅

I literally cannot mat the pedal without it bouncing off the limiter 1/2 second after hitting it.

    When me & the co-driver did the "Southern Classic" earlier this year, the old Mopar cruised in 80-90 range. On I-40 in Mississippi there was a fatality accident that had 2 semi's (one was shredded apart all over the freeway) & passenger vehicles in the mix that shut everything down. The Plymouth sat & creeped along for well over an hour & a half; luckily for us, the car sports a factory 26" radiator/clutch fan/ and shroud set up. It didn't get up to the halfway mark on the gauge

    Man I love engine rebuilds! Pontiac was the same way with sand bagging the power!

    Okay I’ve read all the comments. I can’t believe that nobody even mentions the A990 despite the fact that it was a production motor available for a while in anything chiseler made that was available with a big block. I’ve seen an Imperial with a factory A990.

      A990 was NOT the engine. It was the code ascribed to the car.

    We are now in the 21st Century. You are using an ELECTRONIC CAMERA. You are RECORDING on memory media. There is no film involved. Ergo you are NOT FILMING.
