    408/ 904 trans

    Who told you 904's uave 2.77 1st? 904's and 727's have 2.45 low. 904's had an option of 2.77 but it is a 998. Mopar speed secrets suggest 2.77 but when the books were written 4" stroke smallblocks didn't exist. 2.44 is more than plenty gear. Actually a 2 spd 1.80 first is more than plenty...

    Bloomer Performance
