Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I don't know anything about the town there but what I do know, is that you have yourself a pretty sweet K-member there. I try not to make mention of other people's members but in this case, who couldn't?

As far as my project, let's just say it's stalled out.
Upon my first real venture outside my neighborhood I managed to explode my 727. I have it all torn down now. I can't believe it. I just finished buttoning up my custom exhaust just in time to remove it. It seems that God wants me to become an expert at everything I do by making me do everything multiple times. This will be the 4th. Time I have had to tear it apart. I could have bought a couple new transmissions by now. I'm getting pretty deterred. I'm praying I can do a better job of it this go around. This time I'very ordered just about EVERYTHING new inside the case. All high performance replacements and will be doing what I'm told to be a 700 HP rater T.F. 727. Guess I'm a slow learner.

Yowch! Exploding transmissions could be due to a problem with too much power. - Guess you should have dropped a small block Chebby in there instead. :poke:

At least it gets easier each time a person has to re-do things. I've been dragging my heels swapping out torque converters in my Barracuda. Part of me really wants to get it done so I can see how it performs but then I worry about running a high stall around the streets. I suppose I should put in a transmission cooler to bleed off any additional heat generated.

One of the first things you notice with these K-members is all the extra room you gain for oil pans, headers and starter access. Shedding weight is obviously a plus too. The rack & pinion has me curious about how it will affect the steering feel.
