I'm new to this site and in fact just finished putting my new Holly 4 barrel carb on, 3 1/2 inch straight pipes, gas springs, traction bars, 295 drag radial tires, and crager ss rims on my 71' Mach 1 and an currently looking for a new transmission to seal the deal. I'm looking for a 5 speed automatic with an overdrive, would anybody happen to have any suggestions?
(351 Cleveland, around 400hp & 450lbs tq)
Search out Mike Forte on this forum, he'll fix you up with all your trans needs! BTW, whats a gas spring???
Thought the same thing, but did not know Mike did automatics? He's a great source for Tremec sticks!Quote:

Do you actually mean GAS SHOCKS ?!?!?! Mustangs usually use leaf springs unless the suspension was changed/replaced.. The nitrogen in gas filled shocks is used to control foaming.Quote:

could you put up some pics of these gas springs? Can't even visualize what you're talking about---just coiloovers with gas filled shocks or ??????
