    8.8 swap

    Even mustang rears work well and handle decent power even with the 28 spline axles. My saleen foxbody was 600whp on a boosted sbf. Lived from the time it was first bought with I’d say around 300+whp and then I rebuilt the lsd and installed 3.55 gears when I rebuilt the motor and made 600 at the...

    Rear end gear ratios

    It's a centrifugal so it will make it around 3k and on up. Will make boost past what rpms I plan on spinning it. I am driving it with the blower disconnected and it's a slouch with 3.27s

    Rear end gear ratios

    That's why I started with 3.73 lol. My saleen fox has 3.55 and it wasnt worth the change from the last gears it had. Not worried at all about highway, might do 3.73 though. Just hate to do rear ends 3 times. My saleen I have to redo the gears because the 3.55 wasnt worth the money and not what...

    Rear end gear ratios

    I've been trying to perfect my 72 swinger and I'm trying to lick out gear ratios. I have a 31i with a small cam, 486"/486" and I believe its cut on a 109 lsa. Milled 360 heads, cant remember how much they were milled. Hedman longtube headers, air gap intake, 750 bt demon and torqstorm...

    Transmission and converter questions??

    Cool, thanks its installed now but dont have a dipstick as mine broke at the cap. Waiting for a new one and now have to figure out how much extra fluid this oan holds. Also, when breaking it in or before break in, do I put it in neutral or park? Should I lift the rear up so the tires are in...

    Transmission and converter questions??

    So I dont have to buy a converter specifically for this engine or I do? There are no weights on it. When I purchased it, it just said for a non lock up 904.

    Transmission is a Cope racing transmissions A-904, non lock up. Hughes converter if not in the proper place, please move it to proper forum admins.

    Transmission and converter questions??

    I recently purchased a Hughes converter and something to came to mind. My motor is a 318 in my 72 swinger and I was wondering, its internally balanced correct? So do I need the torque converter to have weights on it or no weights? Is that a thing or am I overthinking it. I purchased part number...

    8.8 swap

    Wow haven't been on here in ages haha, my swap ended up pretty good, I used a drum rear tho :/ but everything else was cake. I didn't change anything, brake lines didn't need changing at all either. I originally stuck it in uncut and it still would have worked I was using 18x9" bullits wheels...

    8.8 swap

    Well that sucks i guess til i get the disks on it. It's actually less than an1/8th of an inch of play. I have good disks up front, just wasnt sure of the disks swapping onto a drum rear end. I only picked this one because it had the lsd, the axle with disks is an open. I had no problems with...

    8.8 swap

    So does everyones 8.8 with drums do this? i actually bought two, paid 130 for both and the aluminum driveline! :) .. At the junkyard i had checked if the axles had play, it seemed tight, but at the same time the drums were tight on the brake shoes, could that be why it had originally felt...

    8.8 swap

    Just did this swap, and i noticed something when shaking the car. I have a slight tapping in the passenger axle. I know the c clips and the axles cause them to have a tiny bit of play, but does anyone know the exact tolerance or play that i shoul have? Or should i have absolutely no play...

    My bad fishy68 i meant hes finishing it up, so its still factory balanced he told me, the new plate is heavier than the factory winged style, its a full circle instead of the 4 wing style plate. Idk if its a b&m piece.

    Help me out with this Convertor issue

    Quick question: my buddy is getting the 360 done, and well my head is scrambled right now, he has purchased the flexplate already. Hes telling me his convertor has no weights, this is right correct? Theyre not supposed to have weights being internally balanced?

    Thanks fishy 68, the car is a 65 barracuda, its a 727 trans, he also said the seller was giving him a convertor but it wouldnt seat on the shaft properly. He just told me two people told him it was fine to "knock off" the weight and one of them is a diehard mopar guy. I told him it would shake...
