Do you run a sealed dipstick? I started having trouble with pushing fluid out of the seals when I installed one in my car.

I've installed 3 of those kickdown kits. Yes, there is a difference between it and the Lokar kit, but it is priced more accordingly to the materials used. The Lokar kit is overpriced for what you get IMO. To help with the braids unwininding, a trick that I used on the last one was to get a...

The 2004r is a good option for guys who want an overdrive without much surgery. Even though one can be built to easily handle that kind of power, the big problem is how to handle the transmission TV cable. I ran into this problem when researching a 6.1 hemi transplant in my car and it was one...

There are many top notch converter companies, and Edge is one of them.

Smaller converters are more efficient at higher stall rates. An 8" converter stalled at 5000 can be more crisp and slip less than an 11" converter stalled at only 3000. The 9.5" I have in my car is great, but if I get to the point where I need a stall over 4000 I'll be looking at an 8".

It's 30 bucks, buy it and see. I would do that long before rigging up the pressure valve.

I installed a Transgo TF2 shift kit in my a999. Not too hard, it was my first time inside a trans if that says anything. I must say one thing though, good luck finding a decent converter over 2500 stall that doesn't cost a fortune. It's one of the reasons everyone says to switch to a non...

The shift linkage/cable has nothing to do with the kickdown. Here's the Lokar instructions that come with the kit. If you look you'll see that the cable bracket attaches to a existing bolt in the rear of the trans case and wraps around...

I ran a Lokar setup with my 904 and then again when I got my 2004r. I was just looking for the "easy" option, but to be honest I wasn't overly impressed with either for the price. I'm not fond at all with the plastic piece they use to attach the cable to the carb linkage. So cheap for a $70...

He has a trans with a .75 overdrive ratio, so that definetely helps.

For the type of driving you want to do, 3.55's would be the logical choice. It would be the best compromise between dragstrip and autobahn driving. If you went with the 3.91's you risk making first gear useless due to much higher torque multiplication. First gear would be very short (3.25)...

It's not that much pressure, the fluid is just going through the cooler and then dumping back into the pan. The only real restriction is the lines and cooler itself.

If you're running a 727 behind that 340, you don't need an aftermarket flexplate for what you're wanting to do. An aftermarket converter will bolt right up. I would recommend picking up some ARP torque converter bolts while you're at it though. From experience, it's not THAT much more...

When looking at gear calculators keep torque converter slip in mind, it could take more rpms to reach a certain speed than what the chart says. Unless you do a lot of racing, an alternative would be to go for a more highway friendly gear, such as 3.55, and then run a shorter tire (24") at the...

X2 Also, don't be afraid of a higher stall. Just because a converter is rated to flash at 3000 doesn't mean the motor will have to rev to 3000 to move the car. A 2400 stall will work great (minimum stall for an upgrade imo) for a stock-ish build and it would drive just like stock, until you...

Does anybody know how thick the spacer is with the TCI kit?

Ok I see what you're saying. I'm planning on changing the oil in the 7 tomorrow so I'll take a look to see if it will work.

The flexplates won't stack like that. What about installing an MSD 6AL with their sbm crank trigger kit. http://www.msdignition.com/Products/Crank_Triggers/Crank_Triggers/8633_-_Chrysler_Small_Block_Crank_Trigger_Kit.aspx

You're looking at ~$2000 minimum for a 2004r to fit your application, plus the costs to install it. Roughly $4k. You could do a 904, they can be built it nice, or you could just build the 727. I don't think you could go wrong with either one if you go about it right.

I'm using the Wilcap kit with my 5.9 magnum / 2004r combo. Very very nice kit. I had to provide a stock flex plate for the balance, but they should have that info on file now. The kit is 100% bolt-on. The only modifcation needed is to grind/file the tip of the starter to clear the bell...

Nobody makes a 5.9 Magnum to 904 flexplate any more. Unless you're lucky enough to find a used one, you only have two options. The first is the use the stock Magnum flexplate like mentioned above, or buy a converter designed for the conversion. To my knowledge, SMR Transmissions up in Canada...

I know what you're talking about, and I ran mine like that up until I decided to swap transmissions. I just used red loctite on all the bolts and checked them frequently for the first couple thousand miles, but they never budged. I'd say you're good, but you might want to keep an eye on them...

Any updates? Did you get it worked out?

Fixed. The TF-2 is pretty popular, I put one in my old 904 no problem. http://www.bulkpart.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=2&Category_Code=A727

Thanks, it's been coming together. Glad to see you've got a good project and still learning. Rebuild Parts: http://www.bulkpart.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=2&Category_Code=A727 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRG-TF-2/ Description says full race shifts, but can be...

If you're just looking for "a number" for the 2004r swap, here is a reasonable breakdown of what it will cost. This is going from my own personal experience with what I did to get a 2004r in my car. Trans - I did a ton of research before buying my trans, and this is who I wound up going with...

I bought that book when I was thinking of rebuilding my 904. It's a good one.

Hughes, and maybe ACC Performance (Boss Hog), for an off the shelf unit.

Has anybody else had the plastic piece that attaches to the carb break? I don't know if I had it adjusted too tightly or what but out of the whole kit that's the only part that I would call "cheap". I wound up upgrading to the piece you see everyone using on their throttle cable. One thing I...

Do you mean Lonnie? Good guy. He built the 2004r in my car and I love it.
