After measuring, the pattern is 5 on 4 1/2, and I was wrong about the width by 3/4 inch, cause the drum had slid out, so I don't think I'll need too much of an offset on the wheels, Photos to come if I can escape my pesky day job and get to work on this unit!..

Thanks for the wheel info, I will measure the bolt pattern and post when I can

Thanks, yeah I checked, it's not a Dana,its got the 3" tubes. It also measures approx 60 1/2 ", as opposed to my original 57 1/4" approx. I would need about 1 3/4" of wheel offset to make it work, sounds doable? I am not going to cut the fenders unless I absolutely have to, but I do want some...

I will need to re-measure to be doubly sure then, No I'm, not sure its not a DANA, would you know how to make a positive ID? Thanks!

Many thanks to all of you guys, I think I have everything I need, now I need to quit the pesky day job to find the time to do this, I'll post some pics when I go for it, Tom

Good idea, it doesnt look all that tough, but I am a rookie!

Thats really good info, I appreciate it. Anyone know where I might get the correct leaf spring mounts and spring pads? The original mounts are 2 1/2" (u-bolts/axle housing width) and the 8.25's are 3 1/8".. I doubt the parts stores would have them? I assume the older A bodies with bigger than 7...

Yes, they are within an inch from the backplates. Looks like I would need to move the perches to the bottom and move one of the offset shock mounts? Thats what I'm wondering about, do I cut them off with a wheel and just re-weld? Thanks

Hi Guys, Has anyone used a Cherokee 8.25 in an A body? Just wondering whats involved to do the swap? Thanks for any knowledge! Tom

Thanks, thats what I needed to know, I appreciate it! Tom

Woops my bad long day, I meant manifolds

Hi Guys, Does anyone know if 318 manifolds are the same as 360? I thought I read somewhere that they are interchangeable, but could not find it anywhere here on a search. I need a set of rear exits for my 64 Dart which has an 89 360 in it, and have a chance to pick up some free 318 rear...

Thanks guys

Hey Guys, Anyone know if a 8 1/4 from a 1/2 ton Dodge PU might fit my 64 Dart? Probably too wide? Any knowledge from someone whos done it or knows would be greatly appreciated!!! Tom

Cool thanks for the info!

Hi Guys, Anyone know if a '91 Grand Waggoneer rear will bolt to my 64 Dart ? Anyone know what size rears those things came with? I think this one has discs and has a v-8 motor.. I searched these forums and didn't see anything, I need at least an 8 1/4 as I am using a 360. Also have a chance...

Hey guys, It was not a big block, but was a 4X4, has the short shaft and shaft housing, got it for $55

Cool, I moved out here from Ebensburg 28 yrs ago.. Still miss PA!

That makes sense, thanks,(will also be a lot easier to use my push button controls..)

Flagstaff Arizona, and you?

I am thinking about using my existing 904, but I figured the 727 is much stronger, I may go either way at this point..

Yeah, I hear ya,unfortunately they are very few and far between here,I'd have to drive hundreds of miles to get one.. Thanks for the info, I will take a look at A and A, lookslike a great website for 727's

Hi Guys, I scored a good 727 for $50 this weekend, but its out of a truck,(short output shaft and housing, 1975 1/2 ton). I would like to put this in my 64 Dart, but I know I need to change the rear housing and output shaft to the long skinny style. Has anyone done this, and do you know if...

Thanks!

Hi guys, I got a chance to pick up a 727 from a 1/2 ton pickup for 100 bucks, I believe it is in OK condition, does that sound like a good price, and I think I saw on here it will fit my Dart if modify the body seams,(ie, bend them down?) I want to mate this to a 360.. Thanks for any...

Thanks!

Hi Guys, Anyone know what years and models are compatible for a power to manual steering box swap on my 64 Dart? I just want a 'cheap' manual box..Also, would I have to change any steering linkage? Its a 360 with a pushbutton 904. Thanks, Tom

Awesome, thanks, I had not thought of that!

Thanks you guys, I can't go too restrictive on this motor, its looking like a swap to manual steering if I don't want to 2nd mortgage the house for correct headers!!

Thanks! I'll take a look at those
