I have many names for it at times....most of them are NSFW...

hope to see you this year steven, there is some airport show in orlando coming up...might go irritate a few rotorheads at that one too...if i dont forget about it...

[estevan62274]

^Awesome, hope you can make it to the meet.

I'm off that day so I should be going.

so i took it to the track a few weeks ago for the first time to get some data and see what it would do...well...first launch at 2k rpm....yeah the yoke available for the 7260 joint cant take it, nor did the greasable Ujoint, but that said the yoke failed badly, pics dont show it clearly, but the ears are twisted quite a bit, and the internal spline is twisted as well, that is the only thing available i know of for the T2 trans, unless i make one, which i lack the tooling to spline it...so i have a new shaft now, with a solid joint and ill just stick to the street until i can find something stronger, i beat on it relentlessly on the street with no problem, but with drag radials and VHT...bang...car only moved about 6inches....never did get a pass....dammit...driveshaft loop going in car ASAP....

sounds like a driveshaft loop would be a very good idea.

I'm not into piston swaps... but this has me converted to an "Only liking amazingly well done piston swaps" enthusiast.

thanks, I just try to do a good job on everything I do, within human and monetary limits..

yeah that has me spooked now, I am glad it wasnt moving then it dropped it, the car barely moved at all, the front end rose to the top of the struts than it popped, moved less than a foot.....glad it never did that on any of the "70" mph highway pulls

taking it to turkey rod run this weekend, should rustle a few jimmies in the very american muscle biased crowd

You are a sick. sick man. It looks like a beefed up T-5 or Tremec transmission is in your future. I don't think I've seen anything outside of a dedicated drag car twist off a yoke that bad. At least the rear end took it, ... this time.

i have a 31 spline 8.8 with auburn, im not worried about it hehehe

yeah im already considering the expensive and time consuming project of a different transmission, even though the T2 has not failed, i cannot get a yoke for it that can take it, and if i do...then it might be next....the only trans i would consider would be the t56 or TKO600 with the high 5th gear OD, that way i can launch WOT and finally get my 30mpg highway
i was also considering the toyota r154 but those are starting to become rare these days
if i use a domestic trans i can get parts and beefy yokes for it

just a little take off video, was still on the old tires...spins a bit...those sucked so bad, they hardly even smoked, just spun like crazy
