I have a new design but have not made any prototypes yet. It includes a rear small compartment for misc items and/or cassette tapes.
Would have made more progress but doing body work all year!
Dimensions of that compartment are not regular. It tapers in several directions.
Full setup from shifter to trans. Pulled from my 71 Challenger. Handle has a small crack and some peeling chrome. Top plate is decent chrome. Works perfectly, used the slapstick feature all the time.
$300 OBO, located in Glen Gardner, NJ
Part 4: Shifter Linkage
I have been driving this setup for over a year and it has held up well. The AR5 shifter location is in front of the t-bar x-member, so a little far forward to be comfortable. My car came with a console, so I wanted to retain it.
Last October I 3D scanned the floor and...
Part 3: Pedals and Hydraulics
I copied a lot of my pedal/hydraulic setup from 'No Bolts Left Behind' on YouTube. Link here to what he did:
I used the same pedal and MC, below:
Wilwood 340-13834 Pedal
Wilwood 260-13621 Compact Remote MC (Bore size is important to get proper throw)
If you have...
Yes, I have been working on a shifter linkage to fit under the E-body console and a custom speedometer driver similar to a Speedbox. I can also post some driving videos and finish discussing the hydraulics soon.

Pilot Bearing:
I used this Holley swap pilot bearing after looking through a lot of stock options, looking at sizes of bearings for both 5.9 magnums and Colorados on Rockauto, and measuring my trans and crank. It...
I just added up all my purchases and I'm right around $2k. This includes everything between the pilot bearing and rear u-joint, clutch pedal, hydraulics, gear oil, and a smaller Hemi style brake booster at a whopping $300. This does not include a shifter setup or electronic speedometer adapter...
Hi all, my first real post here. Would anyone be interested in a writeup on my AR5 5-speed transmission swap into my 1971 Challenger? It is similar to the AX15 swaps I've seen on here but capable of more power (at least 400). I did not need to remove my t-bar crossmember like the 6 speed swaps...
