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…

Holley’s New High-Clearance, High-Flow, Lo-Ram Intake Is Available For LS3. Burst Panel Optional!

Holley’s new Lo-Ram intake manifolds are designed for those that don’t want a scoop or bubble, or who don’t want to cut a hole in their hood, but who want big power capability. Or, for those that want an intake manifold mounted intercooler, dual injectors, and a burst panel. They are available in a couple of different configurations so you can decide just how low your profile needs to be in order to fit in your vehicle. Just think of them as low, and super low, although Holley refers to them as top feed and front feed.

The top feed unit has the throttle body mounted to the top half of the intake, out front, just like their mid-ram and high-ram intakes. The front feed unit has a throttle body mounting location that is lower, and mounts to both the upper and lower half of the intake. Another great feature of the front feed is the option for dual injectors and rails for those guys making big power on E85 or Methanol. There is also an option upper plenum that is available with an SFI burst panel mounting location!

This stuff really is made for big power. Watch the video to learn even more.

There has never been a better time to swap a stick into your car. Why? Th new TKX from TREMEC can handle 600 lb-ft of torque, 8,000 RPM and 7,500 RPM shifts. It is more compact than the TKO so it fits better in stuff like roadsters and other applications where room is tight.

McLeod is the spot where you can get your hands on one of these bad boys and sling it into your car. They can also get you hooked with the right clutch for your application along with other stuff you’ll need to help move the swap process along. Check them out right after you check out the story below.

TKX FTW!

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.
