I was looking at classic industries web site months ago or maybe even over a year and I saw they were looking to repop tail panels for my 69 gts, so I tried to order one and they were compiling a list to see if they got enough interest. Well last week I got call and email saying they can fill my...
I have a friend that owes me a rebuild. His brother has a transmission shop so all I have to do is get the parts I want/need. The engine made 498hp and 520tq, solid roller cam. Peak tq at 4600 rpms so I was going to get a stall around there.
I am looking to get a sb 727 built in the future. What would be the best tranny to find to build(year)? 416 engine 450+ hp 500 tq with 3:55 gears, 69 dart street car. What parts would be the smartest to upgrade also? I have 1968 727 already.

I thought I read some where that the vin is stamped on the K-Member? Do they happen to put them on the rearend housing by chance too? Just trying to see if my k-member and reared belong to my car.
When I bought the engine it only had dyno time on it. There was no carb or distributor in it. Far as I know it was a the dyno shops carb on it. The carb I put on it was a Holley 4779C which was rejetted, the distributor is a MSD 8388. Both carbs are 750cfm.
When I bought my motor is was 521hp on his dyno. I had a local speed shop go through it and they dynoed it at 482hp. Torque drop about 50 ft pounds too. Only thing I changed was a different Holley carb and distributor.
