I contacted his lawyer (advocate), and he sent me an e-mail saying the Liquidation could take several years and that only pennies on the dollar might be granted. He owes millions! He has little in assets . Time to move forward!! Anyways, when the time comes I have a variety of Driveshaft vendors over here! PST,,Dyno-Tech,,Driveshaft shop ectt I AM thankful I received my parts when I did,,it could have been much much worse. I figure I'm 'out' 350-450 bucks,,Hell I spend that on Por err parts weekly!
Thanks for the kind words Pat! Yes, you are right,,the Passion 5-speed looks like a real gem! If I ever build another MoPar,,I wouldn't hesitate using his new A-855 manual trans,,very strong,,well made and should provide years of enjoyment,,more importantly,,he will still be in business! The only thing that swayed me into buying the Legend SS 700 was it is an internal rail shifted trans,(like a Ford Top Loader), or any new modern manual gearbox. This does away with the Z-Bar type of external shifted gearbox. Nothing wrong with that,,I just wanted the newer style technology. There ARE other options for a Modern style Trans,,,American PowerTrain and Hurst Driveline conversions offers Tremec Transmissions including the 6-speed T-56 as used in the Vette and Vipers,Challengers and Camaros,, Mustangs ect it is a large and heavy trans that will require extensive floor and crossmember fabrication,,but the companies will work with you and provide tech support. So there are other options instead of the Keisler deal. Ade,,you can now benefit from our experiences,,so you can make an informative decision.Pat wrote:Eddie i dont whant to scare you but im one of those that will never ever have whit Kieslers stuff to do again ! Passons trans and service is what i recomend for those that think about overdrive in manual trans but i hope you have more luck whit yuor never trans than i had becas i purshest mutch earlyer generation trans for my Challenger. Some realy nice work you do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use the 4 speed Hemi trans that Passon do whit overdrive on 4th gear whit my stroker and i cant complain about only 3 steps of gears up to 1:1 as my engine has alot of ft and hp so doing that steps whit more gears would only make more tire spin before i can realy launch the car propper !
Jamie is a realy stand up guy that stand by what he sells and if there is any trubbel down the way he will suport you whit parts and know how until you get it right so summing it up he is one of the realy good guys.

I can always get the 90 Amp,,I'll have an intank fuel pump and a rad cooling module. Either one is only about 125 bucks new at Rock Auto,,Nippondenso I have the MAD electrical heavy gauge 100 amp upgrade kit.fal308 wrote:Why only a 75 amp alternator?

Yeah,,I think so too,,but I understand that a 75 and a 90 would have the same output,,only the 90 can crank up the juice if the potential/demand is there. Correct me if I'm wrong about that Ade Barc ect!Adrian Worman wrote:I thought 75 amp would be plenty? Even for fan, pump etc.
Adrian Worman wrote:It's the 'draw' off the a electrical circuits demands that dictates how much amperage the alt produces....... A 90 amp will provide 15 more amps than a 75 but if the electrical system requires say 50 amps to operate then that's all either one will provide.
I you don't have loads off power accessories or a ridiculous incar entertainment robbing the system I think you'll be ok Ed.
Like any acc driven from the engine the harder ithe alt has to work the more HP it takes, nothing's for free!
