I plan on running my 904 behind my current 6.4 swap project, in my 69 Dart. So I've had alot of questions, ideas and concerns that I've been searing the internet for and then I realized that A&A is literally 10 minutes away from work... So I took a field trip.
When I got there, the owner (Rick) was tied up for a few but once he was free, he had time for my questions and then offered me a tour of the place. So, we walked around and explored, talking as we went. This place is massive.. Like Disneyland to me. They make all of their own shafts, gears, hubs, drums and on and on. And I mean some crazy crazy stuff! And I gotta say, he's one of the nicest guys that I've ever met. I learned more in that hour than I could've learned in weeks and weeks of searing and reading. He told me what to look for on my 904 (72 later is what want and fortunately, mine is) They have a better kick down servo.. Hope I'm using the right term.
While I was there, I saw alot of history.. Photos, displays and parts that are still being produced, such as cross rams and exhaust manifolds. He also showed a couple high dollar trans in excess of 10k. One was for the Sox and Martin car in Australia and the other I can't remember.. Big name tho that's putting 1100 hp to it.
He assured me that my 904 will be fine and he'll fix me up with what need to make it what I need. I just can't say how great of a day it was.. Feel like a made a friend. I'd called a few other places in the past that left me feeling like they just didn't really care to talk.. And I get that. It's a busy world. But yesterday was awesome. Even if I wasn't looking for trans stuff.. I'd visit his shop just for fun. He allowed to take pics and share..
