    Sorry, but I don't regularly sell parts and don't have the means to crate up and ship something as large as a tranny.

    [FOR SALE] 727 TF and 3,000 stall converter

    Selling a 727 TF and TC out of my 69 Coronet. I swapped in a TKX and not going back. The trans was pulled in early October and is in perfect shape. It was rebuilt in July 2016 and has less than 8K miles on it. Comes with a Frank Lupo built 3,000 stall TC. Trans has a B&M deep sump pan with...

    The importance of measuring bell housing runout.

    So what changed from Fri and Sat to Sunday? The initial .082" TIR was because the engine mounting surface was not smooth and prepped. After prepping, the second measurement came in at .048" TIR; not great but within spec using a .021" offset dowel. The reason the 3rd attempt jumped up to .056"...

    The importance of measuring bell housing runout.

    There's no substitute for experience and over the past week I've scaled the learning curve and its finally beginning to flattened out. Back to the task at hand: Greg took the initiative to drop one of his 440's onto a cart so we could compare runouts. The cast iron bell had almost zero runout...

    The importance of measuring bell housing runout.

    Tomorrow morning we're going to bolt up the TKX bell to a 440 that Greg has secured to a stand. If the runout is consistent then we know its the bell. I'm actually more concerned that the bell will fall in spec. That means something is off with the engine. The engine mating surface has been...

    The importance of measuring bell housing runout.

    I don't think the dowels are stackable, meaning a pair of .014 dowels will adjust the BH .014" not .028". At .028", a pair of .021" dowels reduce the TIR to .007"; out of spec for a Tremec. I'm the FBBO member that Greg mentioned at the beginning of this thread. The TKX is going in the...

    New forum group, Nor-Cal Mopars

    JAWS has pretty good reviews on Yelp. Mostly 5 stars with a 1 star back in 2017. I used them in 2016 for the Dart and Coronet. The Coronet had 3.23's which were too tall for the cam, so I had them swap the 3.55 SG from the Dart into the Coronet. Then I ordered 4.10s for the Dart which they...

    I found the article in MA. It's the April 2022 edition. The VR is referenced in the article titled Acid Test, about restoring a battery tray. As a subtopic, Ehrenberg goes into over-charging batteries causing the releasing of corrosive acid. He devoted a couple of pics to the adj VR...

    Yesterday I installed the Transpo adjustable VR. OOTB it was charging 15.5V so I dialed back the pot a quarter turn counterclockwise and it settled on 14.46V at idle.

    I read your original thread - 2010 - that's an impressive run. And a very tidy engine compartment. You did a nice job of hiding the wiring harness back to the firewall.

    The card attached to the PowerMaster alt only gives the output amps not the draw. I'm gonna call them and see what they have to say.

    I did some research on them. Transpo has a manufacturing plant in Orlando, FL, which is also their headquarters. Transpo was acquired by WAI in 2004, and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary. WAI is headquartered in PA but has a 100,000 sq ft facility in Shanghai, China. Their narrative is...
