Final Swap Report: 1961 to 1974
Swap Report: Removed the 7 1/4" rear (3:23 gears) from our 1961 Dodge Lancer, A904 trans. Installed another 7 1/4" rear (2:76 gears) from a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport. Bolt out/bolt in swap, even brake lines and cables (used original '61 shock plates). MUCH better cruising, better mileage, all around better. Speedometer cable pinion gear needs to be changed to a 16 tooth to synch the speedometer to the 2:76 gears. Found one and it goes in soon. Should have done this swap a long time ago. Got the groceries today. Hope someone finds this info helpful.
