My car is still under construction and not street legal yet so I have not been able to take it out and beat on it. So far the only driving I have done with it is just up and down the street, three houses here and there, and to load and un load on the trailer for the exhaust shop and for the...

You are welcome and without headers you should not have to make any adjustments at all. Post those pictures in a wanted add someone will chime in. Good luck Bob

I just went through this with my 68 barracuda 340/727 here are a few pictures of what you need. I also have long tube headers and I did have to make a small adjustment on the passenger side was no big deal, the drivers side fit just fine no adjustment needed. Drivers side on the left and also...

Before you pull the trigger give Chris a call from Biltrite converters, he is in Illinois, there are some good reviews about them. I have one of his in my 68 build but I have not fired it up yet, so I can't tell you how it works yet. Bob

Chris told me the same thing and they have been in business for a while. When I fire mine up and finally go for a put I will make a thread about my experience either good or bad. Good luck with your's I hope everything turns out great. Bob

It looked good and from other reviews that I read everyone who has had a Biltrite converter has been happy with it, based on the reviews is why I thought I would try Chris.

My 68 is not ready to fire yet (SOON) I will let you know when it is finally on the road. Bob

Hey DGE your combo seems a lot like my 66 273, the only difference is that I am running a 3:55 sure grip in my 8 3/4 rear end along with 14" tires. I installed a 2400 stall converter in my 66, I had it built by EDGE Racing out in California, I spoke with Andre at EDGE and a few others and that's...

Thank You denovo, that's what I was looking for. Bob

I understand all that, all I am looking for is the shape of the small block 727 tube so when I look through all of the stash that part is done. When it comes to bending the mounting bracket so it fit's the bell housing and positioning it for a correct level reading I will deal with that at that...

Mancini's has a picture of a small block 727 tube on their website, I will look through the stash and see if I can come up with something similar in shape and see if it will work. Thanks for all the useful replies. Bob

Don't really need a picture of one installed, just a good picture of one out of the car so I can see the correct shape and length of the secure bracket.

Hey Murray you better lighten up on the BUD's or switch to a different brand.

I need a good picture of a small block 727 trans tube, I have a few tubes laying around that I tried to line up but they don't look like they are for a 727 Thanks Bob

So based on the picture from 1963dartgt the bigger plate is for a slant 6 and would the smaller one be for a big block 727? also I did look at some pictures of 904 dust covers and they look just like the one in pictures 1&2 Bob

I do believe that it is a 904 dust shield, but don't know about the two smaller ones?

I picked up some parts today and these were in there. Even though it says on the tape that it is for a big block 727 it looks different than the other 727 big block dust covers. It does have a part number stamped in it #4295849 which I have tried MY Mopar parts look up and tried googling it and...

I just got off the phone with Chris from Biltrite converters told him what I was running along with what I intended to do with the car, gave him all the specs and he suggested a converter for me. I have gone ahead and ordered it from him. Very nice to talk to, not in a hurry to get off the...

This is what a factory one looks like.

Yes I did, I used a converter shop in California called Edge Racing. I called the owner his name is Andrea hes asked me a few questions about what my car was all about, rear end ratio, tire size, cam, horse power and then he suggested a 2400 stall. I had him build it for me and I am happy with...

Thanks for all the replies guys, the good ones and the useless ones also, I will give it a go and see what I come up with.

Everything else is jotted down, the last piece of the puzzle is what size gear is in this car. If I find out that it was changed for drag racing and is something like in the 4's 4:13, 4:56, 4:88 then I will be wanting to change it to a 3:23 or like in my 66 a 3:55 or even a 3:91. Over the winter...

There is no tag, and do I count how many revolutions of the prop shaft for one complete rotation of the wheel, and if so then is it like Slantsix64 added in post #4? My BUDhimers disease is catching up with me.

I am talking about the rear end in this 68 Barracuda formula S 340 car that I picked up. There is no drive train in it yet and yes it is a sure grip. The fender tag states that it came from the factory with a 3.23 but this car was a drag car back in the day and there is no guarantees that the...

Is there a formula or a chart to tell what size gear is in the rear end of an 8 3/4 without pulling out the pig and reading what's stamped on it? it has been so long since I did something like this I just can't remember how it's done. Thanks Bob

If you are looking for a stock converter I have a stock built converter from Precision that has less than 500 miles on it that was in my 66 Barracuda with a 273 and a 904.

OK so I picked up a 1976 727 small block trans part#3898864 which tells me that it came out of a 1976 Dodge Truck 150,250,350. The guy that I bought it from said it came off of a 360 from a little red express truck. The only thing that I can see that I am going to need for it is a different tail...

Thank You that's a big help, nothing like having ammunition when your going to look at parts that you are not familiar with. Thanks again Bob

If I were to look for a 904 is there a particular date to keep an eye out for? Also is there a date somewhere on the trans so I can verify the trans I am looking at is what it says it is, on ether a 904 or a 727?

Didn't the 1968 Barracuda formula S 340 automatic car only come with the 727 trans?
