My 1966 dart race car.

This will be a continuous post on my dart. I have done many threads on other avenues to keeping this car going/racing. So now I will have an on going thread about my car for those who care. I will post my other links below about the engine and the change from a 727 to a 904 trans.

So the problem now with the 904 trans. I did the cook book recipe that is posted all over this forum on what you need for a 904. Well that works if you don't have 650+hp and a trans brake. Did not take long before I stripped all the teeth on the output shaft. Believe it or not I did not blow it apart on the launch it was the 1 - 2 shift when it let go. Needless to say the output shaft, the low first gear, and a whole host of things went wrong when the bronze gear ground down. Pulling it apart nothing was really broken just the teeth were worn down and the welded low first gear toast.

This brings me to where I am now. I sold the 727 "which I NEVER had a problem with EVER" to this 904 that's broken and needs parts. Well since I now have three kids I made my wife a promise that I will not race the supermoto, dirt bikes, or street bikes anymore but she can't say **** about my dart. We shook hands and the next week I sold every bike I own. Now I have some coin to drop on some good parts for the 904. One call to A&A trans pretty much took all the extra cash that I had. I popped for front pump, hardened input, hardened output, billet steel low first gear, 4.2 lever, semi ridged front band, billet servos, Needle bearing throughout the whole trans including the rear support, and since I was full throttle in first going to second when the teeth let go I bought their ultimate 30 element sprague. Wait there is more, got their case, and HD output housing. Maybe I missed something but at this point who cares and I will tell you how much it cost. Lets say the Indy 360-1 cnc ported heads used to be the most expensive thing on my car, ha ha ha.

I will be updating this post on future races and builds on this car.

Ask me anything you want about anything on the car. I have spent the money and made tons of mistakes. Maybe I can help you not make the same ones.
