...toward the manifold for ease of installation. I read the early 70's 360 were the best choice. This car is a driver, ac, power steering overdrive automatic. Headers are on backorder right now but I haven't found any manifolds yet. So, anyone know a good source for exhaust manifolds? Thanks

Hi, working on installing an A500 behind a 318 with 4.56 gears. From what researched I gathered the standard ratio for the 4th gear overdrive is .69. Did mopar offer vehicles with a better ratio lower than .69? I saw the gear vendors unit is .72 which is higher. Are there any aftermarket gear...

I have always been curious about doing a gen 3 swap but I feel majority I see ditch the factory injection for a carb or throttle body and slap in a 727? Isn’t the whole point of swapping to a newer gen setup to have easier to tune fuel injection and an overdrive transmission?

I mated an a 833 overdrive to a truck bellhousing using a 1/4” plate for an adapter, I machined a 1/4” off the back of the bellhousing.

...a street car, it doesn't need a hotrod340, nor a 5speed. It would be fine with a 318-4speed, and proper street gears or a 360, 3+1 A833-overdrive, and any street gear. But , I guess if the 340/5speed drops in your lap for cheap .......... I mean I would build a car around that combo...

Turn of the overdrive and see if the problem goes away. It will suck for MPG but might make it drivable until you figure it out or get those headlights fixed in the other car.

Where did you find those pulleys? Do you have a photo of those setups? Are they single groove? I haven't been able to find any single v-groove pairs that overdrive the w/p. I could be wrong, but I think the only overdriven sets from the factory all had a ton of grooves on the crank pulley.

For modifying the tunnel area where the overdrive is said to make contact, my plan is to use a convex dimpling tool on my air hammer. I figure that should do a good job of slowly stretching the metal where needed rather than trying to beat it into submission with a big hammer. We shall see! I...

Yes we are going from the 904 to the I forget the number but its the 727 with overdrive

...J-hooks, Dual blackies for 3 gears, lighting them up at 50mph, adjustable rear-steering, jumping, rallying, bunny-hops, cruising in overdrive at 85=2100 .. If I had to pick one I suppose it would have to be endurance; the ability to survive all my chit and abuse. If I tried to drive my Chevy...

Do you need the overdrive lever length (3rd gear position)?

...360tq. looking at getting a higher stall speed for the trans but unfortunately have a 18 spline trans... Not sure if i should swap parts to 27 spline, buy a newer trans with 27 spline and have to go through it and than buy the higher stall torque, or look into possibly doing a overdrive trans...

...towes like heck, all kinds of weight and different trailers. Pulling through the mountains I just touch the button that locks it out of overdrive and then pull the steeper hills. When things level off its back in overdrive again. Get like 18 mpg out on the cross country open road traveling...

Guy we raced buggies with, he was workin' on the racer and had the air filter disconnected, remote mount it was. Had the little stock carb covered with a shop towel to keep the debris out. Well, he forgot he had the rag over the carb and just hopped in and fired that powerful 1200cc VW up...

The spray was distroyed completely and the case where it holds the steel spray insert is broken apart and a crack running down the side

Really well done, only thing I would change is remove the gear vendors overdrive and replace the trans with an electric overdrive 727 out of an 89 pickup.

Cool! Thanks for that info. Syleng1

...your synchronization rpms. The thing to note is that from 3927 to 4010, is a window of 83rpm, pretty easy to hit. But suppose you have the overdrive model with ratios of 3.09-1.67-1.00-.73, firstly, you cannot jam into overdrive cuz you'll blow it up. Splits are .540 and .599, so from 5500...

Is this for a street car? For personal enjoyment? If yes; Forget about it On the street, at the front, I can barely overdrive sticky 245s, and I can burn a pair off in a couple of weeks. I eventually installed 235/60-14s up front, and lowered the rear tire pressures, and now I just skate around...

...a 904 based transmission with a lockup converter that would sometimes stick engaged. I figured that this early automatic 4 speed setup had electrical plugs for the converter and overdrive? I thought I read that you could disengage/defeat the converter lockup by tapping into the brake light...

First order of business is figuring out what you have. '64-'66? No such creature. '64-'65 used a flanged ball and trunion output shaft and housing, '66-'67 used a 27 spline slip yoke output shaft and housing. '68 and up (including OD trannies) had 30 spline output shafts and housings. Not...

...but I'm finding it hard to work this out. Please try to be patient. Amongst other things I'm trying to work out the speeds to switch in overdrive and lockup automatically. In the above example it looks as though switching in overdrive without lockup introduces a load more slip that would...

...said he tested the servo for the rear band, and it was ok. The valve body was double checked. He also said that the indirect clutches / overdrive is good. So, either the front clutch has a problem, or the band is not holding. Either way it will need to come apart at this point and have...

Wish I knew my shifters… says it’s from an old dodge with 3 speed with overdrive. F body it is.

I do not have an OD, I run an A833 with a 3.09:1 first gear and 1:1 4th. This allows the use of a 3.23 gear without losing a bunch of 1st gear multiplication. 3.55's are also fun with this setup. A Gear Vendors, or Passon Hemi OD look appealing to me as I don't want to cut up a factory 340 car.

...a guy and all it required was some hammer marks in the floor. That was in an E-body but I’m sure with putting a 4L60 or another full size overdrive in an A-body will require similar type of work. With how much power you’re making, a stock 727 will be more than plenty and the big expense is...

What would it mean if it was an overdrive gearbox? Less robust or less in value ?

Starting line ratio isn’t a guess. I’m at 15:1 in first gear and that’s a little shy. At 11:1 my car wouldn’t move. That’s too tall.
