    which is better and why forward or reverse pattern mvb

    On the track I hate the RMVB as i am stuck in 3rd at the end of a run. If something breaks I can't slip it into neutral, have to go down through the gears first.

    Cope Racing Transmission

    He hung up on me when I wanted my 904 rebuilt to take the 416 power (maybe 550 HP) and retain the kickdown. I knew it would work cause I was already running it. Kenny at PTC got a kick out of that and did my 904.

    Tranny Cooler Help

    That looks like they put a shroud and fans on an Earls cooler. The fittings can be changed to whatever AN size you need. I used AN-6 for my lines to the Earls cooler. http://www.summitracing.com/search/product-line/earls-performance-temp-a-cure-fluid-coolers

    This is bad.

    Is the housing back braced? I ask cause if the tubes have been bent from hard use that can make the wheels hard to turn. Maybe those end flanges have the same effect.

    Reusing trans fluid

    John put a brake in the VB? I was wondering what that button on the seat was for :D

    Any run hughes 904 ??

    Cope sells PTC converters. Why don't you call PTC directly? Kenny Ford is a big Mopar guy and he races a 69 Valiant in 6.0 index. I had them do my 904 and bought the 11" vert from them.

    a good forward pattern manual valve body

    My Demon that I just got has a RMVB and I kinda hate it. I am used to the forward pattern, and besides, at the end of a run on the reverse VB you can't just slip the trans into neutral to avoid deceleration on the alum con rods.

    rear end or transmission problem?

    His inside tire is lifting and he doesn't have sure grip. So the engine revs with no load. I had a 70 toyota van when I was stationed in Japan that would do that if I cornered agressively.

    Changing from a 8 3/4 to Dana 60 - axles?

    I will be using the 8 3/4 with my SB to shake out the car. The Dana is for when I put the 540 in. The dyno shop is having to just about replace the whole dyno and I won't know until they fix it how much power the BB will make, but I sure hope it is over 550 HP. Crackedback, I put my 8 3/4...

    Changing from a 8 3/4 to Dana 60 - axles?

    The 8 3/4 has pinion offset. I am worried that the Dana spool is wider at the splines than the 8 3/4 spool, but don't have a way of measuring one to compare.

    Changing from a 8 3/4 to Dana 60 - axles?

    When I get the Dana in, the 8 3/4 housing will be surplus. Will be quite a while I am afraid.

    Changing from a 8 3/4 to Dana 60 - axles?

    In anticipation of putting my big block into the drag Demon I am looking into getting a Dana 60 setup so it can be a bolt-in replacement. The 8 3/4 is narrowed to about 48" flange to flange and has the ladder bar brackets. I have a Dana lined up but it needs to be narrowed to fit and have a...

    Who builds the best 904?

    I wanted to rebuild and upgrade my 904 to work with my 500+ HP stroker for the street. I knew it could be done as I was already driving it on the street / track with 495 HP. I called Cope, told him what I wanted and he hung up. LOL. PTC hooked me up.

    Dana 60 info and help

    Dr Diff, PM sent about the width of the Dana 60 spool vs the 8 3/4 spool. I want to switch from a 8 3/4 to a Dana and want to know if I can still use the 35 spline axles that are in my narrowed 8 3/4.

    8.75 Strength?

    What is this Mikronite you speak of and how do I get a set of gears with it applied? I have a hunch that my 8 3/4 will be the weak link in my BB drag car.

    Kickdown adjustment from the horse's mouth

    I mated my rebuilt 904 / PTC 10" converter to the stroker last weekend. My tranny used to shift perfectly with the stroker and a 2500 stall converter except the stroker made the 2-3 shift skip. I have the KD adjusted so the lever on the tranny is fully to the stop as the throttle is closed and...

    Kickdown adjustment from the horse's mouth

    I just like being able to drive in D and shift with my foot when cruising. Having the choice of manual upshifts and downshifts makes the kickdown ideal for how I cruise / race my fish. Used to be in our 67 318 Coronet you could floor the car in D and it would rev out in 1st, when it was time...

    Need internally balanced flex plate 340 / 904

    The one I have for the 416 is actually a 360 plate that somebody welded back in the scoop area and rebalanced. It is not straight and I want a new SFI unit. Cannot find one specifically for the 340/416 with the 904. is the 727 plate the same for the 904? I have the 7/16-20 bolts. Is the 10230...

    Damn...can I just BUY a better transmission for the money than having mine built?

    Hey Pyrojim, you ought to look into an alum 90* oil filter adapter to get the filter away from the headers. I LOL at Cope. I called wanting my 904 built to take the 500+ HP stroker. I wanted to retain the automatic shifting with the kickdown, and also be able to manual shift it up and down...

    904 or 727 ?

    I will be able to tell you how a built automatic shifting 904 does behind a 500+ HP stroker in a little while. PTC is building one for me now, as well as a 3500-3800 converter. The engine/conv/tranny combo will be shaken down in a lightweight drag Demon and ultimately wind up in a 68 street fish.

    A904 high performance rebuild--advice wanted

    300 HP is nothing for a 904. I currently have PTC building me one to handle 550 HP with automatic (kick down) shifting. They are also building me a 3800 or so converter for the combo. I will shake the combo out on the strip in my drag Demon but in the end it will be the combo for my street...

    Wrong transmission kick down rod?

    My kickdown has a spring on the outside of the rod which is straight. I lost the spring somewhere and bot a new one from YO. It was the wroun length. Found the old spring. I love the TF with a kickdown. Right now getting a 904 built for the stroker that if it lasts a while in the drag...

    Let's talk about 550 HP / automatic shift 904

    Is this still doable? I want the automatic shift with kickdown for my 416 when I put it back into the fish after paint. Engine should put out over 530 HP and over 500 TQ (from 3500). 3.91 gears and about 2700-2800 flash converter. Street / TnT strip. The other thing is I want to run that...

    904 for 408?

    Your parents will hate the car because of the fuel milage and having to run premium gas. Make sure they don't trade it in for better gas milage.

    Low First Gear set, Will it help or hurt me?

    I am in need of building a 904 for my 416 fish that will be mostly a street hotrod and was planning to use a newer trans that I thnk has the low gear. So you think it would be a mistake? 3.91 rear on 28" 275/60 tires. Will get about a 3500 converter. 60 currently 1.65 with a 2500 converter...

    Driveline vibration heads up.

    Didn't know that, thanks. I had new U-joints put in my fish after I bought it cause it had the grease fitting joints and I wanted to eliminate that weak spot. guess they did put it back together the same way cause the previously balanced driveshaft was still balanced as far as I could tell...

    904 2-3 Shift Flare

    My fish started doing that when I went from the 340 to the 416. Did it on the track manually shifting and on the street letting the tranny shift itself in drive. Adding more fluid helped but did not solve the problem. No answer for the cure cause I just pulled the engine / trans and will get...
