i have to wonder why tremec doesnt make and sell the trans with the short input for a stock ford bell housings?how many gm ones do they make?why do we ford guys have to deal with this ?
i have a tremec 3650 from a 2001 mustang,and a billet front plate for it to bolt into a ford bell,but i have not moved forward on this yet,trans will need some better parts installed before i try it with 700 hp.

did your landrum springs bend like this when you compressd them?these are 18.25 long so close to what you had.
i sent a pm to you to ask more questions.
also haveing your car scaled at 4 corners can help with launch from what i have seen from others,and using the caltracs as well.
what do you think your front to rear bias is on your car?

there are on correctly but i didnt have shocks in it.still shouldnt bend like that.did you scale your car? thats the only way i can get the right spring rates for the front,but have not done it.
it seems that your spring of 200 would be to soft,bbf iron block etc.i can only guess at mine.

these are moroso 47200 and i did not cut them,but they really bent out of shape with just the the spring compresser so they maybe defective.if you want to sell your springs let me know.
i did try spacers iunder the spring seat and that helped a lot.so i may go back to the older springs with spacers.your spring rate is much less than i would have guessed.these are 260 and previus springs are 250.bbf engine weighs about 550 lbs,c4 etc.

Retirement in about 5-6 months!mike your car is great and nice to see it done.can i ask what springs you used on the front?i have moroso 47190 but car sags to much,i cut at least a coli off mine.i have a bbf,but dont know the front end weight yet.i really need help with this!
The new crank showed up (391 crank still for sale) and I have the block in for machining now and should have a short block ready in a few weeks.

update on this scat stroker crank balance.scat has agreed to exhange the crank for another thru where i bought it.took it to engine shop in torrance ca and said the same as my engine builder,it would take a lot of time ,and he said it may flip the counterweights,and may not ever get balanced.if he added weights to the front or rear,and end needing more out in space.basically he will not do it,as it is a risk of not working on either,also wth weight on flywheel he said it was iffy at best and didnt want to try it!
scat has agreed to exchange it for another crank.oh boy! what could go wrong with that one.a lot of shops will not work on scat cranks any more!
scat was sold to prvate equity in 2022 that also owns afr heads.
hope to get the the other crank next week and try again.

« on: June 29, 2026, 02:58:08 PM »What was your initial bobweight? sorry if I missed it
FWIW, last 4 forged SCATs I did, 2130, 2101, 2230, another 2101 and a 2050, all came in easy.
If he is willing to play a little, SCAT said the target is the high 1900s, maybe hang some bobs around and see if the crank does what it's supposed to with a lower weight.
I never heard of a SCAT being incompatible with a cammer, but I haven't built one either
when you did the scat forged crank with 2230,can you tell me where and how much weight you had to put in it?any pictures by chance?
