Thanks for the info, I may go this route and also fab up something to keep the block solid to the frame.. I lost a transmission and block a few months back at the track and sadly I am still uncertain the cause of it.
Does anyone know where I can find a set of Solid engine mounts for a 2016 Ram 1500 single cab? I have searched and searched with no luck.
I do not have a Facebook so I am unable to poke around on the high performance ram page.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks.
I found out that these aftermarket stroker cranks require a $20 pilot sleeve for the torque converter. I am hoping this was the cause of the transmission destruction. Here are a few pictures of the destruction, viewer discretion advised .
I had some severe vibrations with a previous driveshaft so I had one made and it was a night and day difference. I am now convinced that the engine needs better mounts/chain.
That profile picture was with a 1st gear leave with a built 8HP70, that was the last time that I have left the line from 1st gear. Now I launch from 2nd gear and front end stays on the ground. Does anyone offer any more suitable motor mounts for my application? Also where could I find that...
The other fails on the HP70s were 1st to 2nd burning up then 2nd to 3rd burning up....this failure was from an 8hp90 I bought from Ebay claiming it had 8000 miles on it. I have not looked into the failure yet, it is still loaded up on the trailer.
Tuner will review data log tomorrow. It's a crappy feeling destroying 18k in transmissions from 3 trips to the track. Very bad weekend to say the least
Zero vibrations, failure happened at 133mph between 5th and 6th gear just prior to the end of the 1/4 mile. Motor mount and Trans mount look fine. Bogart wheels, hoosier drag radials. I am in the ballpark of 800HP without the nitrous. The Built 70's were failing by burning up the clutch packs...
My 1st pass down the track and my 8hp90 blew apart and caught on fire, I have no idea what caused this. My truck has destroyed a stock 8hp70, 2 "Built" 8hp70's and now a stock 8hp90. Does ANYONE make an 8 speed that can hold decent power? I have wasted a TON of money on these transmissions that...
