A999 Transmission mated to a 73 340 motor

The 10235 is for the 727 but in some cases will work on the 904 series. The 904 flex plate is a smaller outside diameter and does not have the big converter bolt pattern on the outside edge.
Sometime if you use the 10235 with a 904 it will rub against the starter.

Thank you.
I had the rubbing against the starter when I first installed the transmission. I put couple of washers between the bellhousing and the starter bolts. The starter still engages abut there is no more rubbing.

This is a cruiser for my wife. I don't think the engine will ever see anything above 3000-3500 rpm.
The rear end is a 8 1/4 with 2.94:1 for easy cruising.
The only other problem I have with it is the radiator fan. I had to use a fixed/flex fan because of the lack of space and it is quite noisy, like a jet when it goes over 2000 rpm. I can do an electric fan but I like the security of the mechanical ones.
