Where do I start on 1984 Daytona turbo NHRA Stock Eliminator transmission?
I just hauled it home. It's a 1984 Turbo Daytona. I am going to run Stock eliminator. No sure which transmission is in this car. I will be doing a dramatic about of changes to engine within the Strick rules NHRA laid out. I will do a custom billet cam and try to raise rpm as much as possible. I am using a Holley Terminator ECM that will have individual cylinder timing and fuel control. I will have a Turbo Smart electronic wastegate that the ECM will control as well. turbo must remain stock size. I will be on engine dyno as well. So where do I start on transmission. What about extra clutches

Do you have to stick with original year block, crank, rods and transmission.
I'm assuming yours is automatic??
Early cars had a 6 bolt crank and matching 3 bolt converter.
Later cars used an 8 bolt crank with matching 4 bolt converter.
If you can run the 8 bolt crank the later trans were better.
And more widely available with stronger axles.
If not its best to learn about the differences.
84-85 automatics were 413's but with a weaker diff.
3 and 4 bolt converters aren't interchangeable.
Just some stuff to know before sourcing parts.
I know you have to stick with the 1984 head.
1984-85 pistons are different than 1986 up due to the head.
Many of us will be interested in your stocker project!!
If you need a bell housing for the dyno I have one.
Dakota trucks had a RWD version of the 2.2 with a separate bell.
Thanks
