daytona clone f6 green

[unrulyprocuda]

Hey guys im builing a 69 daytona clone from a 70 charger 500 i bought i have been reading alot of chats on here and alot of great info has been talked about what i want to know is why none of you have written a book or dvd on the building process of a clone and a parts list and possible suppliers for people like me just starting out i think it would help others wanting to build a daytona and you could also make some money along the way i know its taken me several months to compile a list of what i need and where i can buy it from to get the best looking clone daytona i can afford luckily my friends are restoring three original daytonas so i have great references to look at im torn though fiberglass or steel i definately want one of danes wings if he will make me one.

the motor is huge and it have one of those keisler OD GM automatics  in it

[unrulyprocuda]

you just had to go and remind us that there is a gm part involved didnt ya unfortunately its the only way to cruise the highway and still have burnout gears

[FJMG]

 Actually there is another way. There was an article in one of the mopar mags. about a shop that cuts the bellh'g off a A518 (or 46re/h) and welds on a bellh'g from a BB727 thus allowing you to bolt up a new gen 727 (w o/d) to an old BB. I thought they were in the midwest?  Maybe Stuart knows?

there are a few different ways to go ,  Passion does manual ? ,  also gear vendor OD's are popular also and not as much banging on the tranny tunnel  , I know ed's tranny tunnel is heavily modified to fit the gm trans

[unrulyprocuda]

Bowler is the company that you are thinking of its more for the bowler than the kiesler aod that i have already purchased the gear vendors shaft makes the trans to long and to much modification the bowler uses a 700r4 with mopar bellhousing but cost about 1500.00 more than the kiesler with all the bells and whistles nobody has an all mopar solution just yet.that i know of i guess its like japanese parts on a harley even though its wrong its still cool
