I took the weekend and elected to finally get some parts installed on the '96.
I installed the 4.10s from the Blue Flame into the white '96. I had rebuilt the traction-lock a while back adding extra clutches. I took the opportunity and picked up a new rear cover with girdle bracing manufactured by LPW. I had the opportunity to see Bill from Supercoupe Performance when we picked up the cover. While I happened to be there I picked up a set of poly differential mounts.
With the 4.10s I installed a new Dynotech aluminum driveshaft I had bought from a TCCoA member.
I also went and J-modded the transmission and updated the 2-3 accumulator and OD servo. While we had the tranny out we had a PI 3500 stall triple-disc torque converter installed. It too was a 'hand-me-down' from the '93.
Finished up the project with a set of fabricated braces for the front k-member - a custom install from Alan at DirtyDog Performance.
Topped it off with a new chip from Blue Oval Chips setup by Lonnie.
The new combo is a familiar one and I am very pleased all around. Too bad a couple deer decided to play tag on the way home.
