Off center a bit
My Scamp has a 904 and pushing 471 HP and 500 ft lbs. of Touque through it and works great.
It was built with better clutches and valve body.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

The view from the bleachers looking over the starting line is worth the chance of rain. Santa Monica Mtns. all covered in snow with a FC with header fires taller than you reach
well find.. i'm coming to live with you..i can't get anyone here to go to a drag strip... wahh...
I went with alto reds and kolenes in my 727 to handle a whopping 350hp that a stock trans could take forever
Only thing i didn't do was a bolt in sprag... i live on the edge..

I'm surprised that's still for sale. i have seen guys asking 100 for them.. that's a bargain for someone that needs it.. i got lucky and have tons of room around my headers for the filter.Log into Facebook

THe competition 904's are probably good for 600 horse.
With such small diameter clutches and ****, they have to take soo much less power to turn
Just to change it up, I have a few cars and I picked up a 72 dart for mega cheap. All my other cars are all pedal cars and I still have quite a few 904s and related parts laying around so I thought why notBTW.. Princess, if you love 4 speeds why go auto? If i had pedals and a car setup for a 4 speed i would have one in it for sure.. (well.. a 6 speed)
Wow, that is easy overkill but so cool.not sure on your money situation... but a converter is a big kick in the pants but not cheap.. i went with a FTI 9.5" but it was $750.. as far as rebuild kit.. not sure i ordered a mix of parts from A&A and Cope, they do sell master kits though and for a 318 those should be fine, i went overkill as i worry bout breaking **** WAY too much although i never make enough power to break stuff

The engine I plan to use is the 318 I started overhauling on my YouTube channel (I need to make more progress soon)
The intent for the car is daily driver/ regular street use.
That's the same reason i'm doing a small block.. never had one before
i'm sooo throwing money away but it's more interesting..BTW... i drove only stick cars for like 20 years... and 1 manual auto.. a stick never gets boring... manual auto gets annoying on the street, this time i went with hard shifting but left it auto..
My car came with a Poly but it was too far gone to save... i ended up putting in a 318 with trickflows and a howards roller cam.. i'm bout 2 hours of work from starting it.. It was supposed to be a temp motor, the bottom end was $300 and no idea on if it's good or not... smelled ok though
Great concept, poor execution. I did a quick and dirty spray to see if i like the idea, and i do. So next will be better masking and paint the black part the way i want.
I think i would do it body color myself... if the dash is gonna be body color
Hey Girl. Long time, nice to see you. They are more boring, maybe, kinda, but there is something nice about instant tire chirping shifts. With a converter to match the motor, it is very hard to beat. I love the reverse manual valve body I have. Just a stick car without a clutch. Still up shifting (without lifting off throttle) and downshifting as needed. It also eliminates the passing gear/downshift mess.
25° here... thankfully the wind is still low...
I bumped up the stall just over factory when I had the torque converter rebuilt.
I don't know of a good way to inspect one other than opening it up.
I have a 3800 in the pop way to much for it. Tim found me a new 2800 at Carlisle last year for a song. No idea how to just "check" them. My issue is ring gears with all the compression. Now I just need good heads.
Ha! Nice valiant but definitely not me.
Long time ago my screen name here was Rainy day auto. I'm still Rainy Day Auto on fbbo. For some reason too many people thought Rainy Day Auto is a commercial shop. I am not a shop, just a weekend warrior. It got annoying so I changed to princess valiant, because I have a lot of valiants and I love valiants, especially the ones made between 1967 and 1973.
I, personally, have never had good luck with reusing a stock converter unless you know it works. I have gotten bit a few times. They can stick or lock up inside from sitting, or if someone damaged the trans, all the debris ends up in there which wrecks your new trans rebuild.
