That what he gets for running a piece of crap dodge.
A big hunk of junk with a good engine and shat for a powertrain.

thanks buddy. haha. in this case cody only has to have a BELL HOUSING blanket, not a full tranny blanket. this is to keep pieces of clutch from coming through the floor in the event of a clutch failure resulting in the clutch literally exploding in a bunch of fragments. look up exploding clutch on youtube and see what you can find. its crazy what a clutch will do when it explodes at high rpms.

List of Questions:
What is a Sledgehammer? (No, 'dumb' answers please... Travis, William, etc.)
How many miles on the engine?
What's your goal Horsepower/Torque?
What gears are in the D80?
What's a girdle? pics?
Any pics of a hood stack on an OBS?
I forgot some more questions that I had?

not sure on his goal, but i think he will pull every bit of around 580hp from that setup.
a girdle is a piece of billet steel that ties all the mains together. use main studs for added strength as well. so it goes between block and oil pan and goes across all the mains to tie them together and strengthen the bottom end up.
there will probably be a pic of an 8" hood stack on codys sled truck before too terribly long. in the mean time Jim has a pic of his drag truck with a 5" black hood stack somewhere on his website.
the Dana 80 probably has 4.10's in it.

Phil, Travis did a good job for you. But I have a few things to add.
165k on the motor.
If I make 500hp, I'll be happy. The goal isn't the most horsepower I'm after, it's consistency.
The Dana 80 currently has 3.55's in it. Looking for cheap 4.10's as we speak.
It will be highly unlikely you'll see any OBS with an 8" hood stack. So be patient. But yes you can see a hood stack on Jim's OBS, but it's like 2 1/2" or something. LOL So I say if you haven't seen one, wait. It will be so worth it.

can't believe that diff has 3.55's in it. not much point in putting 3.55's in a dually....

Hey Cody would the gear out of a 88 dually work for you? Cuz I've got a front and rear end I believe up at my shop and they were 4.10's. If they will work I can go up and make sure they are there and ifthey are I can send them to you.

So he didn't say yes, and have it be the wrong thing.
I think an 88 is a gen1 10.25 anyways. has a different pinion.
