      I run a Falcon in our Mod. It has 4 seasons on it. Easy to replace clutches, I do once a season. Yes I have seen many used for sale from 600-800 range. You dont have to run a reverse mounted starter and bellhousing, I dont on our mod. I run a Standard bellhousing and a block mounted mini starter. Its the way to go.

        Thank You
        Back to the transmission. How long before those 3 speeds and powerglides dry up? I see nothing negative about using a better, more easily obtained and cheaper transmission like a bert.
        I gave 500 bux for mine like new.
        No roller cam here,dont need one.

          If you guys are wanting to run UMP, it really doesn't matter. They don't check anything, and could care less about
          the stock cars, other than collecting your membership money and selling you tires. It's the end of March and still no
          2016 rules posted on their site. What a disgrace and lack of respect for their competitors.

            All three of the last posts are right on, UMP don't give a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) about any class but the SLM class the rest of us just help pay for the Summer Nationals.
            Guess I'l run my Falcon and when the promoter tells me I'm illegal I'll ask him to show me the 2016 rules (which won't be out till August).
