Hello all. In the midst of a 904 rebuild and the valve body separation plate from the core transmission I bought is pretty beat up. I need the steel separation plate that goes between the valve body. It has to be from either a 64 or 65 904 transmission cable operated valve body. I believe either...

Thanks for the lead! Unfortunately, I'm in L.A. and Chula Vista is a 2 1/2 hour drive each way. Might be worth the drive, as you mentioned he is a Mopar S/B specialist. Their website is very impressive. How are they cost wise? I will call them in the morning. Seems like most machine shops I...

I believe so yes

I have available (3) 904 Transmissions from the following cars: 1) $300 - Complete LA904 1966 Barracuda 273 904 - Worked when pulled from car 2) $400- Complete LA 904 1967 Barracuda Commando 273 - Worked when pulled from car 3) $200- Complete (Minus Torque Convertor) 69 V8 904 Pulled from...

Nice work on the rebuild. Where was the carb rebuilt?

64 Valiant on top 65 Valiant on bottom

I stuck a scope down a few of the cylinder heads. From what I could see, the pistons had two indents for the valves confirming it is a commando engine. The back three cylinders with the low compression had huge carbon deposits on top of the pistons. Might have to tear it apart....

Hello all, In the midst of a LA-904 rebuild, the valve body stiffener plate and valve body have rust or some corrosion on them. Any ideas on how to remove and clean? Wire wheel on the stiffener plate? 1000 grit on the valve body? Using mineral spirits as a solvent. Thanks in advance

I noticed in the 67 Plymouth FSM that the specifications on the free valve spring length for the commando engine is 2.00" vs 1.92" for the two barrels. See the picture. Don't know how much of a difference it makes?

I was thinking perhaps it could be a leaking head gasket on the passenger side bank. Why not replace the head gaskets? From what I understand, the Commando came with longer valve springs then the 2 barrel version. What will putting 340 valve springs on the engine do? Isn't anything related to...

I have not used a scope in the cylinders to verify that the pistons are in fact domed. However, the engine has the proper valve covers, double points distributor and a cast iron four-barrel manifold. The 67 Plymouth Factory Service Manual Spec depicts the compression pressure for the four-barrel...

Hello All, I picked up 67 273 Commando. Did a compression test on it today. Here were the results from the cylinders: 1) 155 psi 2) 150 "'' 3) 155 '''' 4) 140 '' 5) 150 "" 6) 140 "" 7) 155 "" 8) 140 "" Shot oil in the low cylinders and the compression rose indicating ring sealing...

Hello all, I just picked up a rough and tired 67 273 Commando. I want to go through it and make it street worthy and reliable. Pretty much keep it stock, replace what's worn and put it back together. Who do you recommend for the machining / engine work? Thanks

1966 and later would be ideal

Thanks, but the guy doesn't answer his messages. Contacted him weeks ago....

Hello all, I'm looking for a complete 273 Commando Engine that is preferably a runner and not a core. Thanks

Is it asking too much to speak on the phone about an item that the seller has for sale on this forum? Specifically, big-ticket items like engines and transmissions that are hundreds of miles away from your location. I don't understand the reluctance from a seller to speak on the phone about...

Has anyone installed Sanderson's DD9 Originals? They are out of Northern California; I have seen them on a bunch of guys cars in Northern CA.

That's a great price, as these are usually ridiculously overpriced..... For what it's worth, you can use the original single barrel air cleaner on a Carter two-barrel carb with slight modifications.
