For A Bodies Only · jos51700 · 29 Oct 2026
I just installed an overdrive bellhousing behind my 5.9 in my Dart. I used a bellhousing and fork from an F body, supposedly an Aspen, but it all came from the same car. The pivot mounted differently, but the fork looked identical Now I've got it in the car and the rod from the Z bar to the fork is not generally horizontal like it was prior to this. Now it sits at about a thirty degree angle and hits the header when I step on the pedal. What did I screw up?

- I won a Diamond Wally in Superstock today!
For B Bodies Only · GTX JOHN · 26 Sep 2026
Winner Winner / Chicken Dinner! My Grandson Logan won a coveted 75 Anniversary Diamond Wally at the Tucson Divisional a number of month. He was the only member of the family to have won one. Now at Bakersfield, i just won SS/NA with my 80 Aspen 318. My opponent put up a great .006 in the final but I was pretty confident that our car is arguably the fastest in our class in the country. The Aspen loves to race against Small Block Chevrolets
