There are things you only get with a 70, that said, I love the 70 Roadrunner... The 70 Coronet is an acquired taste... I haven't acquired that taste yet...

Yup, Some folks don't want a vert... Then they drive one & suddenly they want one... Prior to getting my first one I had no real opinion one way or the other... Since the first I haven't looked back... If the right deal comes along I might take it home... Actually prior to my Mopar verts I...

Just getting back to it... Been digging out boxes of restored & NOS parts the last couple days... Everything I collected 20-25 years ago... At the time I was buying a lot of stuff Figuring I'd bought the car so cheap I could over pay for a few parts & it wouldn't matter... Now you can't touch...

Well...... The Red one started life as a 6 cylinder auto on the column car... Bought it in the eighties... Had converted it to a 360 & a 727 on the column.. Was gathering pieces to convert it to a four speed back in 93-94 timeframe when a opportunity to buy a numbers matching lime green R/T vert...

People Suck....

Replace it.... If it's the long side I'll give ya one...

The man in Garden Grove is Jeff... AKA Jeff Motors... AKA Oz Hemi... jeffmotors@aol.com 714 3ninteen-2014

You need to pay someone to haul it off... Through the years I've given away a lot more than I've sold... Funny, when I need it nobody seems to be in a generous mood... Actually that's not true, some folks have been very generous.... I tend to give a lot of stuff to younger guys & friends...

Bring plenty of Beer and Bandages... :lol:

Yup... Mopar never made anything easy... Personally I'd probably grab one out of a late 80's Diplomat cop car... They had the 360 (cop motor) so they have the 999 with the HD planetaries & I don't remember any cop cars ever having a L/U trans..

Nope.... To early..

Info on the net is all the place, some say all low gear 998/999 are LU, others say not the case... I worked in a Dodge dealer 82-84, Lock-ups were the absolute bane of the tranny guy... https://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/auto/22.html

Nope...Lock-up convertors prior to using electronic control (which showed up the same time as O/D) was clunky at best... Chrysler had lots of complaints so they dropped it around 84... But even when they were using it, it was spotty... But as long as they were using the super high geared (2.45)...

Vans are a PITA to R&R the engine in... I've done 360's, 440's, 302's & a 7.3 Power Stroke... For the Power Stroke you lift the body off the frame....

Thing is Chrysler never made a lower gear set for the 727, So the ones that are made are aftermarket.... By the time you have all the pieces they start at around $700 & if you want heavier duty IE four pinion planetaries or billet the price goes up quickly... For what you are building a...
