I will admit that I wasn't aware of the very early 904's having different lengths and the short tailshaft Torqueflite I had in a D-150 truck have may have been only available as a 727 version. But the later slip-yoke passenger car 904's that the OP asked about were all the same length, as was noted.

There is no need to swap because there is no difference in 904 lengths in car applications. The short one you have is likely from a truck.

Radiator cooling tubes & fins. Summit Racing on radiators. I have a new aluminum Mancini E-body radiator with a two 1" tube core. But the core is 22" wide x18 1/8" tall and I doubt I'm anywhere close to a Champion radiator. New ad posted in the "Mopar Performance Parts For Sale" section.

Agreed, and the generous bevel will add to the number as well. But then you can also factor in slight volume differences between spark plug brands & heat ranges. Going by the photo, the measurement isn't particularly accurate anyway because its being cc'd .004 below deck. (I got a...

I think the numbers are confusing because you are cc'ing the volume between the piston and "0" deck. You don't do that with below deck pistons. The calculator already takes care of that. That's where an extra 13cc of volume is coming from. Pistons with 2 valve notches typically add 5cc to the...

It would help to know what the minimum amount of material is safe to leave under the deepest part of the relief. Flattops may not have a lot of thickness to accommodate deep valve reliefs and it can vary with the piston material. Lift, cam timing & piston-to-valve clearance are all factors...

I'm pretty sure my first truck, a 1980 Club Cab short bed, had a short 727 and 2-piece driveshaft. I still have some new Halogen headlights and retaining rings from it. I loved the storage behind the seats. I replaced it with a 1986 std. cab, long bed and hated it. Bruised my elbow on the back...

It wouldn't hurt to have the floats checked on any new carb as well. You never know if someone had a bad day at the factory.

Off hand, check to make sure the primary float level isn't too high and/or the secondary float level isn't too low.

Since you can't be sure if the cracks are from a bad casting, over-torquing and/or overheating, double-check the heads for cracks also.

Installing hood springs is a huge pain even though I was installing lighter hood springs from a Dart Lite and FWD Daytona/Shadow on my A-bodie. I think vise-grips, channellocks and/or a big screwdriver were involved. However, the only concern with welding on the spring is that the heat created a...
