doing rebuild on 904 what needs upgrade?
Poison dart thanks for the google advise, never hear of that before... now if I'm going to build a wheels pulling 10 sec drag racer I will know what to use.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear here, I don't have money.
Strokerscamp that is much more helpful but all of those extras combined make it cost more then just doing the 727 and shortening the drive shaft. Sounds like the 904 would be just as strong though. I suppose I'll stick with the 904. I saw the WIT website but it was hard to navigate if you don't know what to buy. Now I do so thanks a ton for that!
Final question on that though I wasn't planning on replacing the bands, is that really a must.
Yes the 360 is from an auto and the 727 I have is the one that it was pared to.
I didn't know the 68 converter was incorrect so thanks Bill for that tip. Are you sure about that though? Most aftermarket converters don't list anything other then the 904 as the application, year or motor doesn't seem to matter. I just need the balanced flexplate or put the weights on it. I just looked again, it looks like that small snout 904 was pre 1968 273 and sixes, so I should be OK.
I know 8.8 pisses people off, but it is stronger then a 8 1/4 and I can't find any of those around here anyway, especially in limited slip. Seems like $1000 is cheep for a good mopar setup where you would have less then 1/2 that in the plentiful 8.8 and probably end up with rear discs to boot. I'll let the 7 1/4 try and live, usually when I drive I don't hammer on it from a dead stop, Just roll into it from 15 mph. It will probably never see a drag strip.
I used to hate Ford but ever since this bailout of Chrysler and GM, they are now my new favorite brand. It wasn't just the bailout, but how they did it. I'm not buying new cars so it's pointless, but I would never give GM or Chrysler a dime of my money again. Used car sales are another story as they don't get that money.
