    drilling 8 1/4 axles for sbp?

    Is it possible to drill 8 1/4 axles for 5x4 sbp? I realize I would need to drill the drum also. My 7 1/4 is howling pretty bad so I am considering a 8 1/4 swap(I figure a 8 3/4 is overkill for a stock 273, besides $$$), and I can't see new wheels right now, so I would like to stick with sbp, I...

    Educate me on rear ends and axles

    Planning on going to a auction sale next weekend, the sale bill doesn't list the parts, but there is a picture of a pallet of rear ends(sale is heavy on Mopars). Thinking I may luck out and find a 8 1/4 a-body rear. I printed off the charts to identify rear by case and widths. One question I...

    Found an 8 1/4 a body housing

    Looking around Craigslist I found a 8 1/4 housing and backing plates for $100, it's been powder coated. Is that a decent price? I have a 8 1/4 out of a volare would all of the parts except the axles swap into the a-body housing? Thanks Aaron

    "clunk" going into reverse

    I have a loud "clunk"when shifting into reverse in my 67 dart with 273/904. The u-joints are nice and tight, not sure if it is coming from trans, rearend or where. How do I determine what is making the noise, new motor mounts(old style) and tranny mount. Thanks Aaron

    7 1/4 axle question

    Just kind of thinking aloud. I am thinking of finding a 73 and up A-body for a disc brake and possible rear end swap into my 67 Dart. My question is if I find something with a 7 1/4 would the BBP axles swap into my 67 housing, or would I have to swap complete rear ends? Have looked at...

    stupid transmission crossmember question

    In my neverending quest to post a stupid question in every category, I am asking which way the transmission crossmember goes. I am working on a 67 Dart with a 904 behind a 273. Does the lip of the crossmember go towards the back of the car? Thanks Aaron

    Transmission dust cover, what color?

    Cleaned up the dust cover(covers lower part of bellhousing) for the Dart and the finish is pretty much gone on the starter side. At first I assumed it was galvanized, but it is more of a solid grey. The small inspection/torque convertor drain cover is galvanized and a different finish. My...

    Transmission mount, 67-8 different than 69?

    Called around for a replacement transmission mount for my 67 Dart (273, auto). One place said 67-68 no longer available, but another one of their stores has one for a 69. Is there any difference? They will have it tomorrow and I will take the old one to compare, no commitment on my part, if...

    Transmission on engine stand

    OK haven't asked a stupid question under this category yet, so here it is. Can I put my transmission on an engine stand? 904. I need to scrub the grime and gunk off of the tranny, and on an engine stand it would be a lot more comfortable work then kneeling down on the ground. Thanks Aaron
