I noticed that as well, while doing some trans research...

I am preparing for a big block swap. 383 is basic, with cam, intake, headers, etc. I am going to have a hard shifting 727 built. What are some in the trenches stuff that needs to be done? If memory serves, there was something about a bolt in sprag? I am going for either a TCI or B&M full...

I can't get Napa's site work (too fluffy and stoopid user layedout), but I was able to buy the necessary weighted flywheel for the 360 swap at a fraction of what the dealers locally wanted. I presume they would have your flexplate too.

I will tell you from experience, the 5 speed in the trucks don't shift very fast. It may be mine and age of the transmission, but the diesel guys back it up as well. It is just not a very fast reacting trans. When I stand on it in my truck, there is no 2nd gear chirp, cause the trans takes it...

U bolts. Shock plates.

I concern over using the original axles because of the register for the center bore of the wheels. Most 5x4.5 wheels have a 3.3 inch center bore, where 5x5.5 has about 4.25 center bore. I would consider contacting one of the alxe suppliers (Strange, Moser, Mark Williams, etc) and have some...

On one hand it sounds like you are going to have this case for a long time, as you want to build it strong enough to support the larger motor down the road. On the other hand, you are concerned about resale value. These seem to contradict each other. If you have the 741 that you can build for...

I have a 69-70 vintage 727 Big Block trans, going to be going behind a 383. I have a well qualified transmission guy, that is going to build it (I want to watch on the first transmission) What are recommendations for brand of kit to put in the transmission? BB combo is going into the 75...

I could barely hear it over the exhaust. The Lock-Rite makes noise. If they offer a "Powertrax" they redesigned it with a ring so that when the wheels are turning different speeds, it rides on this ring/ridge and does not click. It will give a small click or 2 once you get back straight...

Yeah, brake cleaner is great for this type of work.

I agree, it seems as if someone got a little aggressive on the machining of the outside of the carrier. It seems small compared to ring gear, but I have not been inside an 8.75 recently.

Anyone had an axle cut down recently? I have a C body 8 3/4 that I will need to cut down to use in my 75 Colt project. I am curious as to what the normal cost is for this service.

The Power Trax and lower cost Lock Rite are the same unit, with the exception that the Power Trax has a little ring built into it, so when the gears are separating to allow you to turn in corners, the Powertrax does not click like the Lock Rite. these are nice options to replacing the...

I thought that the only thing needed was some type of switch needed to "engage" the overdrive. It acts like a 3 speed until the switch is flipped?

I am doing some work on the Dart tonight (using a customer's lift) What is the proper weight of fluid for the 3 speed manual (A230 or A320) transmission? What about the 7.25 rear end?

Clicking / Ratcheting is normal with this traction device. The "Powertrax" has a raised ring that prevents the noise, but the until will click in once or once it straightens.

I am going to change from 7.25 rear end in 1976 Dart to 8.75 rear end. Are u joints different? What about driveshaft length? Will current 7.25 be too long or short? I have seen the small to large u joints in the past. Is this all I need? Bear in mind, this car is staying /6 powered. I...

How does he intend to sell it if he doesn't want people at his house? Will he meet you somewhere? Will he unbolt the center section? I will meet him somewhere this week to look, if it is KC

Devil's Advocate here... Why so cheap? Most people who have these don't "get ride of them" quite so cheap. Splines OK? Knurl splines in Lug holes Ok?

One was syncronized, the other wasn't? Weak memory. A230 is syncronized, I think.

Does you car still have the option tag on the fender? A decode might give more insight. I think it is referred to as an A-230 3 speed, if memory serves.

I see where it is now. On the A body unit, it is one of the following: 6F117900 or 6P117900 Under that, PP883 5103 or PP883 5108 On the B/E long shaft, the only number is P8835817 There is no 6F___ type number on the long shaft pad....

I tried to find a spot where casting numbers were listed online, but was unsuccessful.. Any ideas?

Here is measurement on the ?SB bellhousing measurent Here is some casting numbers on the A body transmission Here are casting on the longer shaft unit.... B/E?

If I can determine that the short shaft unit is in fact, and OD, then I will probably put the SB bellhousing, and long shaft trans up for someone to use. I needed the /6 bellhousing the most. I need to figure out if the 3 speed bellhousing is of any value. If so it will be available...

I will get the casting numbers tonight. I printed out the article off slantsix.org and took it along with me.

Both of the transmissions, the front bearing retainers measure 5.12_. The bellhousing on the the back of the slant engine measures the same. The loose Small block bellhousing measure 5.05 to 5.08, and it has more pronouced ridges then the one on the back of the slant, and the ridges might be...

Below are 2 manual transmissions I have. The shorter unit I bought with my Dart, the guy said it was an OD. It has an iron case, and iron tailshaft. The longer unit I just got, assembled behind a /6 from what was reported to be an 82 Ram truck. The /6 has all the Lean Burn crap, so it seems...

I misread your post, I tought I saw 1968 transmission, not 1986. I will let the trans experts chime in. I am not familiar with the newer stuff.
