    45RFE question

    Off forum a bit. I have a 2000 Dakota 4.7 4x4 auto.45RFEauto. 1) will that trans bolt up to a (1974)LA 318 if need be? Possibly a flex plate conversion. 2) does any one make a stand alone PCM for that trans so I can run carb engine? Thanks-Joe

    By chance does anyone have an exploded view diagram of a A-904 transmission for a 74’ Dodge tf-6 they can share? the service manual and all the transmission books I have don’t show a solid view. Sadly they jump from 727 to 904 back and forth. Nothing consistent. I know they are “all the...
