Almost 40 years rebuilding transmissions and my man still reads the directions. That's how you know that one is going back together correctly. That's the difference between knowledge and wisdom.

"if i had a gun to my head that's not where I'd put them" "Labyrinth, I had that game" 😂

The speed and confidence with which Ben tore into that transmission was inspiring. I would have been taking pics of everything and carefully laying the parts in order.

​@@StayTunedTA it's like I'm watching myself in a room with Ben. I have no idea what Pagan deity he sacrificed a goat to, but he can make any transmission work by whispering to it. I'd have missed Power Tour 2019 without him!!

I’d love to see more of this kind of work on the trans. Cool to se wit unedited and just right through.

Its a good thing you spent the time putting in the turbo II rear end. Now tony will make five passes instead of three passes before it breaks.

My NA rear lasted 6 years with a 383sbc and 200r4 transmission, with a few dozen track launches. My secret: stock 185 tires in the back, lol. I don't know if I ever had a sub 2.0 60tf time.

Ben is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to transmission rebuilds! Helped me out a bunch on my 4L60e rebuild for my Trans Am.

When you break one of the outer cv joints you can upgrade to beefier FD outer cv joints and hubs using a Timken 510051 or equivalent wheel bearing. The hub pilot is larger on the fd hub so you’ll need to either machine the hub to 66mm or open up the fc brake rotor to fit. Another option is Ronin Speedworks’ 8.8 with their Grande axle kit. Also, on stock suspension you’ll have better luck preloading the rear by stalling the converter on the line. Basically you want to leave with the suspension already bottomed out. If you let it drop the rear on the hit and bounce you’ll just spin, wheel hop and break stuff. I’ve raced my swapped fc for almost 15 years and when it was 100% stock suspension I was cutting low 1.40 60’ times consistently. The stock suspension works well for drag racing. Lastly, do what you can to keep the front diff mount from slipping out from the studs. Give it a tack weld if you need to. With those solid diff mounts you run a serious risk of breaking the body studs that the diff mount to if the front of the diff lifts up.

I feel like everyone needs to know a Ben who can help them with stuff like this. Just confidently going about his business, knowing exactly what to do.

I've been bracket racing my LS-FC for 12 years and was at HR drag weekend in 2016 with it. the T2 diff setup is good but has limits. my next step is shimming mine. i'd also suggest a pinion snubber. look up the old norotors forum for tons of great info, a lot less BS than some forums. a couple things that might help if you stay with the independent rear suspension- camber links from Ronin Speedworks to get a better contact patch, and if you go much over 450 rwhp you'll need their ford 8.8 diff kit. also rear springs, change them to some standard 2.5" 150#/in coilover springs with threaded coilover adjusters. if you bounce off the bumpstops on launch, the car will spin every time. you just need enough spring to prevent the bounce.

Dalton...I gotta say I respect your commitment to the quest of will it run and make it home? You really throw caution to the wind and just send it ...and overcome whatever problem arises...BTW your land yacht collection is getting to be spectacular!!

Being from the Midwest I was always die hard american car fan. Now that im on the west coast I can see the value of dropping an American heartbeat in an import shell. I had an AE86 that I really wanted to do that with.

dude, you are knocking them out. love it as already said

A Turbo350 for a six cylinder...Learn something new every day. That bit of info is priceless for a person whom would be looking for one used or rebuilt. Or just junk yard hunting! I never knew there was a difference. Thumbs up for that piece of knowledge alone!!

You know an old school builder when he's working with a speed handle.

Wow. My very first car was a 2nd gen RX-7. There's a good story behind how I got it. But when I did it had a completely seized engine and a blown up transmission. The interior was completely rotted out, the paint was destroyed etc. But it was solid underneath. The body was straight enough just a few little dings. It took me and my dad forever to get the car done but we stuffed a small block Chevy and a turbo 350 in it. Shift kit with a 3300 stall converter. We (it was always our car even though it was "mine") ended up selling it to fund shop upgrades and our race car. Now I realize I want it back. Except maybe with a big block... Thanks Tony 👍

so glad you went back to solo, get to see your builds more offen.

Common on an E60 and also normally fills the boot control units with water too. If you check the end of the drains the star shaped ends fuse together with even a small amount of debris.

I’m totally rolling on the floor laughing I built a really nice TH350 transmission in 1981 and put in that same shift kit I also left out TWO of the cushions clutches on second gear and every time it shifted it chirped the tires even at zero throttle. Idling around town at 20 miles an hour chirping the tires is a heavenly thing everyone should do it. I had nothing special in my car motor wise it was a 66 chevelle three 327 and hump heads and 268 H grind comp cam. 355hp.

Pro tip. Put a big punch strait up in the vice, hang the trans by one of the bell housing bolt holes.

Nice! Well done!!!

When you overpower the rx7 rear, Ronin Speed Works makes a mount and axle kit to install the independent rear 8.8 ford into the rx7 chassis. Need the rear diff and axles from a 2003-2010 Ford Explorer. That will handle much more power and give you the ability to change ratios while keeping the rx7 hubs and suspension.
