Newbomb, Thank you for enlightening me: My comments were not intended to be misleading, they come from following Larry Shepard's Book. On my budget I follow his recommended cylinder head compression ratio combinations. Swapping the Speedmaster 2.02 aluminum heads for (New Zealand) EQ 318B...

Aluminum heads are absorbing compression because they’re a heat sink. If your static is 10.5:1 your cam choice should be in the 9.5-10:1 range. The crate motors made power because the came equipped with cast iron heads flowing 25 more cfm than the J head untouched.

3.91 gears are a good balance of ratio and MPH, but the tire size will play into your 1/4 mile time. I run those gears with a 365 4spd and found that a 26" tire is a handy cap for mph. 3.55 gear ratio pulls a better mph by 3.5 mph but a 1/3 second slower et.

Look at the Smittybuilt jeep seats. eBay/amazon. They look identical. I put a set in my son’s Dart with seat sliders from Speedway. Cost me less than $500.

I ran the offset Mopar performance keys to 6700rpm with 300# open spring pressure. No issues.

At this time the car is plumed with 6an. The carter fuel pump has 1/4 npt inlet/outlet. I may change fuel cells and run electric pumps now that the season is over.

Your correct, it was a factory FWD.

Someone requested a couple of pictures of the Daytona. Here they are. Much appreciation for the help.

Thanks!

Are the fittings, flare or compression to An?

Thank you.

The quest never ends...

Thank you.

That's what I wanted to know. Thank you for your input.

You've got a good point about finding a alternate location for the fuel pump. I'll post some up some photos later.

Hello All, I am currently working out the bugs on my 84 Daytona. It is small block powered and has a tube chassis with 32/14.50's. The chassis has a small fuel cell in the engine compartment and the area is limiting the installation of an electric fuel pump. My 1/8 mile shake down didn't...

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them. I went to their shop about 6-7 years ago. He had jigs set up and a wall full of exhaust manifolds for various models. Additionally he had two styles of mufflers, one re-production and a universal model for a better price point. I could see the...

Thank you for your input. I was concerned about starving the circulation, yet looking for a solution to the drain back. The cooler is mounted behind the nose of the car about 2/3 of the way up the radiator.

Are An check valves acceptable in the cooling lines?

I wanted to thank everyone who contributed to the trouble shooting of my 727 build. The transmission was disassembled and the gear Pac lash was tightened up along with the input shaft end play. A different pump with less endplay was installed and we are on our way. One thing that cropped up was...

looking for an oem number to source a replacement converter for a mild build 72 dart. 2200-2500 stall. Anyone have good luck? Dayco and Or converter are out of stock # CR22.

71 Demon 528: The valve body is back at Turbo action for inspection. The pump has been swapped out with a set that has a tighter thrust clearance. .0026~ and the clutch assemblies and stator support are at the local builder to verify clearance and function. (they are air checking okay for me)...

Thank you.

Forgot to add, the valve body that was built by Turbo action may have been a post 75-77 unit if that matters. Thanks for the help.

Here are some pics. The alternate pump body and gears are out of a 75~ or later unit. Additionally I have a narrow bushing stator support and input shaft as an alternate, or a 77 combination stator/pump and input shaft. Stator Support and Input shaft pics are from the new build that had issues.

Thank you Kim. The V/B was sent back to Turbo Action for inspection. And a pump in better condition was sourced. looking at the 727 rebuild book I'm unable to locate an end play measurement for the planetary stack. Is there a spec that should be inspected, before the unit is reassembled? The...

Thank you, Sir.

Dynamic brand Converter. I have several cores here that could be pillaged for a pump.

Thank you! Its a brand new converter. 8" 4700 stall, mechanical diode. The converter function, though, is beyond my understanding. Thank you for the help.

No, the trans fluid settled down when it was cycled into neutral. after the unit lost power transmission the transmission was over full. When the unit was pulled the converter had hardly any fluid in it.
