I need manual trans suggestions for my hotrod 42 truck project. I was going to go 727 because I am more familiar with the Auto's mechanically speaking but the more I think about it a hot rod really should be a manual. The only manual trans I am familiar with is the one they used in the trucks...

Anyone know the dimension of an A-body 8 3/4 Housing without the axels in it? I have one sitting here that I wanted to sell to another FABO member but when he came over we got to measuring it and perch widths don't match any know dimension for any body style, 43.5 inches. And guessing how far...

Ok here is the situation I have. I have a 360 with a 904 with a MP 2500 stall where the external balancing was moved internal when I rebuilt both. I also have a 318 that has a manual 4 speed, I think its a NP435. Since the external balancing was knocked off the converter can I use that on the...

The axel housing I have has been sitting around a long time on a duster and its been open to the elements for many years. It is caked with mud, rust, and cob webs. The inside doesn't look to bad considering it been sitting open for so long! What would be the best way to clean this up wire...

Hey guys long time no see. After a long stretch of not working on my car just driving it and enjoying it I am ready to move on with and start working on it again. Plus this 8 3/4 has been sitting on my bench for almost a year now and I am ready to get going on it. I was going to take it to...

I just scored another A-body 8 3/4 rear end so now both my A-bodies has one and I can get rid of this B-body 8 3/4 I have. For some crazy reason the guy I bought this new rear end from cut the perches off of it. He gave me some new ones to put on it. He told me they need to be welded on at a...

I am putting a b-body 8 3/4 under my Dart Sport. I asked this question before but not on this board. Anyways the general reply was that I not shorten the rear and just buy wheels with offset. I am still wondering if it just wouldn't be worth having the rear shorten to a-body length to avoid...

Since I have the next week off I would like to get the ball rolling on getting this b-body rear under my a-body. When I built my motor last spring I had 3.73 or 3.91 gears in mind for my car. This fall I bought a 489 center section that had a new set of 4.10 richmond gears on it. I know I...

Now that I have my 8 3/4 I am kinda question whether or not it was such a good buy. I have been reading some info and looking up prices of different parts today and I am not thrilled by what I have found. If the 741 case has a 1 3/8 pinion and the 7 1/4 also has the same size pinion what the...

I did more bone yard scavenging today and by accident I found an old farm that was turned into a junk yard. I found mid 60's 4 door valient with a slant with a manual tranny. I couldn't get under it to tell what rear end it has. I also found a not to shabby looking scamp with a slant with...

According to the B&M instructions for my year of car I do not need to hook up anything to the new shifter for the reverse lights and the neutral safety switch to work. Well the reverse lights work but my car starts in gear. Is there a way to fix this prob so I can run at the track?

Yea I know the mighty 8 3/4 is the best and that I shouldn't use anything less but I wanna know why I shouldn't use a 8 1/4? I know the 8 1/4 gets ripped on because of the c clips that hold the axels in but can they be beefed up to be a decent axel? My car is around 400hp and is driven...
