    Cold fluid level?

    My car was struggling to climb up onto the trailer over the weekend. Tonight I went over to check the fluid and of course didn’t have the keys. I checked it cold just for fun and it was at the add quart line. I don’t even know if there is a solid answer to this but what should the level be when...

    Need help identifying industrial 727

    This transmission is used in a vehicle that pushes around aircraft and is paired with an old flat head 6. On the side of the housing where 727 is normally stamped it says 844-5. On the rail above the pan on the drivers side the only numbers I can see are 2659 787L. From the face of the housing...

    Perfect street/strip converter

    What is everyone opinion on the perfect street/strip converter for a car with street gears (3:55/3:73). No cam has been picked so I am thinking I will pick a cam to suit the car. For power it would be nice to throw a big cam in the car and make tons of power but then I would need a higher...

    8 3/4 axle manufactures?

    I am in the market for some new axles and was wondering what brand is the most common. I looked at Moser but they are wanting $370 for stock replacements. The engine will be going behind a 408 that is mostly a cruiser but may see a handful of trips to the track each year.

    Bent transmission pan flange?

    I changed my transmission fluid last weekend and I have noticed a small puddle of fluid under my car the last few days so I crawled under it and saw it was coming from the flange. I looked up the specs for the bolts and it looks like I put a little too much on them. I really do not want to get...

    Very stupid problem and question!

    After taking my dart to the track and manually going through the gears a few times I have noticed my 727 is shifting through all gears by the time I get up to 20 mph and it is not downshifting when I floor it. I know this is an amateur question but what in the world would cause this and how...

    This will annoy alot of you.

    So I got a 8 1/4 rear end. The seller said it came out of his Scamp. It was an early 70's scamp. Did the 8 1/4 come in scamps before 73 or was it just 8 3/4 or 7 1/4 before 73. Also is there any difference in length of the two rear ends?

    How much is to much?

    I have been in the market for a 8 1/4 rear end to take the place of my 7 1/4 and I found a decent set up but I was told that I need to swap over to the B-body 10 inch drum breaks. My question is do I have any cheaper options and if not would it be best to just buy the breaks new or check out...

    ugly rear end

    I have a 7.25 rear end and am switching to an 8 3/4. I have been told that for some reason since my car is a 1973 that i have the small bolt pattern on the rear axels. I was wondering if this was true and if i got a rear end with the big bolt pattern how big of a pain it would be to drill out...
