New Product Install: New Mid-Mount Gen III HEMI Front Accessory Drive – HEMI Swap Greatness!


New Product Install: New Mid-Mount Gen III HEMI Front Accessory Drive – HEMI Swap Greatness!

One of the most annoying and frustrating parts of any late-model engine swap can be fitting a bunch of accessories that never came in your car up front and in between the engine and radiator. Whether you realize it or not, almost all of the late model V8 cars are considerably larger than their previous counterparts. A new Challenger is bigger than a 1970 Challenger, for example, and so is the underhood space. These new cars are designed to fit around all the stuff that needs to be on these late model engines, and the older cars weren’t. Thankfully the gang at Holley has come up with the solution. Their new Mid Mount accessory drive system is a game-changer.

When Holley came out with accessory drive systems for the LS engine it made swapping one into just about anything much less of a headache, and now Mopar fanatics are going to benefit from the same technology. Their bracketless design means everything fits tight to the block minimizing any chance of interference between accessories and the chassis, body, etc.

Video Description:

Holley’s new Gen III Hemi Mid-Mount Accessory Drive Kits offers a simple, clean and reliable way to install all of the serpentine belt-driven accessories for your late-model Mopar engine onto our patent-pending bracket-less design. This allows the alternator, air conditioning pump, power steering pump, and everything else to be mounted tighter to the engine, making a Gen III Hemi swap an easier affair, regardless if you are using a VVT or non-VVT engine in your build! https://www.holley.com/products/engin…

All you had to do was go to Holley’s LSFest in Bowling Green to see just how popular the 1988 to 1998 GM C/K “OBS” trucks are right now. They were everywhere out there, with everything from stock LS engines swapped into them, all the way up to twin-turbo combos making 1,000 horsepower or more. Thanks to the fine folks at Holley you can now get these trucks, along with their Ford counterparts, capable of supporting big power while running the factory fuel tank.

Here is all the info from Holley:

This direct-fit fuel pump module will drop directly into any 1988-1998 GM C/K Series trucks and 1990-1997 Ford Truck EFI fuel tanks. The module has been designed with a 340 LPH (liters per hour) Sniper fuel pump that will support up to 700 EFI or 900 carbureted horsepower (HP Rating @ 60 PSI at 13.5 Volts / 10.4 AMP draw).

Holley Classic Trucks Replacement Fenders For 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC GMT400 Trucks


Holley Classic Trucks Replacement Fenders For 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC GMT400 Trucks

OBS Truck owners rejoice! If you have a project going together right now, then you are going to be thrilled to know that you don’t have to beat your original fenders into submission enough to throw some Bondo on them. Instead, you can start with high-quality replacement front fenders so that you can start with new steel. We approve because we would much rather be working with new metal than beating on old stuff or trying to repair rust in a beat-up old panel.

And even if you aren’t restoring a truck, but are building one custom, it is so nice to be working with clean metal when modifying things. Want to build steel fender flares for your truck? Or a wide body kit? Need to make the wheel wells larger for big wheels and tires? Whatever the reason for modifying your stock fenders it is always nice to start a fabrication project with fresh new metal.

Here is all the information from Holley Classic Trucks, including links to the fenders.

If you’re in the process of restoring or repairing your OBS truck, you may find yourself looking at a wrinkled or rusted-out fender. Rather than costly and time-consuming body repair, why not replace it with a brand-new high-quality fender from Holley Classic Trucks? These fenders are made for the 1988-1998 Chevrolet and GMC C/K trucks. They are manufactured with precise tooling resulting in excellent looks and fitment. They are EDP coated to provide corrosion protection.

TREMEC Releases New TKX 5-Speed RWD Transmission- Available through McLeod Racing

(ANAHEIM, CA) TREMEC releases their new compact 5-speed transmission called the TKX. The TKX is perfect for a restoration or an upgrade for a classic muscle car, 1930s-era roadster coupe or any application where space is an issue. The compact design means little if any tunnel modifications in most applications.

The TKX took a forward-looking approach to finding the best and most efficient solution for a 5-speed RWD manual transmission. The end result is superior shift-ability with smooth shifts at high RPMS through the use of multi-cone synchronizers and hybrid synchronizer rings. At the same time, noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance is optimized with a gear layout to best control stress levels, while providing structural stiffness with a ribbed, 3-piece aluminum housing. Durability is further optimized with oversized gear widths, gaskets at all flanges, and caged needle bearings in all gear positions.

“We listened to our customers, combined their suggestions with our OEM technology and strengthened our aftermarket line up with the addition of the TKX,” says Mike Kidd, aftermarket business unit manager of TREMEC.

The TKX has 600 lb.-ft of torque capacity and is capable of engines speeds of 8,000 RPMS with shifts at 7,500 RPMS. The transmission is designed for multiple applications with three shifter locations. It is compact, end-loaded design provides clearance in most transmission tunnels without floor modifications.

“TREMEC listened to its customers and knew they needed a more compact version of their incredibly popular TKO ,” says McLeod President, Paul Lee. “The TKX by TREMEC allows McLeod to offer another option for customers looking to upgrade their current manual car or go from automatic to manual with less work .”

The TKX transmission is available to order through McLeod Racing. As the drivetrain market’s one-stop-shop, McLeod Racing has a complete line up of clutches, flywheels, crossmembers, and anything else to accompany the installation of the new TREMEC transmission.
