Though this is my crazy dream. First thing first. I couldn't have even gotten this far without the help of my very dear close friend Paul Wong. Paul has made a boat load of phone calls and spent half the cost. Also our good friend Mike Blackstone has been building the engine. Numerous delays that Mike has had to deal with. Don Little did the heads for this project after waiting for ever for parts. Don has always been good to me.
Delays for parts has been frustrating. Two years ago I needed window modules. Was told I would be taken care of. Yeah right!. Pistons took the longest in the beginning. I never went through the process of getting a piston approved. Thanks to Paul and Mike. Now we are waiting for Holley to complete their order. Been waiting for the main part of the Holley ignition for near a 1/2 year. Valve covers too. Waiting for a camshaft. A lot of waiting for sure. I hope someone can help me on the clutch linkage set up. Paul Haszlauer |

The more I look Hydraulic is the best anyway. Very old school here. Learning as I go. I guess the next question is there a go to Hydraulic clutch set up that beats the stock set up.

Paul, I wouldn't use the hyd. clutch..Too many unknowns .How long since you raced a stick car?
You're going to be using "old school' bell, so why not an earlier fork too? The pedal should be usable. Just copy the older stuff to get your pivot points and ratios figured out. Besides header clearance, it seems that you'll be better off with mechanical. I'm dealing with a factory hydraulic system , only because I have to. I have no starting point for mechanical. :-0

Thanks Mark, As far as me personally driving a stick. Not since I was very young. I have built all Paul Wong's 4 speed cars though if that throws me a bone. Paul will also be the primary driver but who knows. Actually Paul has all the stick stuff except a flywheel. Maybe once I get the engine in. The old pivot bar deal will become a better vision for me to fabricate.
Then I spent all day yesterday looking for an original clutch pedal for the car. Holy cow parts are just not available anymore. Anyone have a clutch pedal set for a 2009-2014 Challenger? Paul |
