I must admit you´re probably right. The smaller tranny wouldn´t be worth the fuzz. What about the Mopar performance converters like the 166K P4876878. They tend to be less pricey than aftermarket pieces and should offer the bit of extra stall I´d like to have. Are they ok in terms of quality...

BTW, reliability isn´t the big issue. With our gas prices being $6.50 per gallon, the car won´t be driven more than 1000mls a year. :sad1: Unbolting and bolting stuff is the most economic way to have fun with the car. :)

I´d have to update the 727 anyway. And the 904 comes with pan and converter which alone would be over $500 in Germany. I´d buy the whole thing for $300 plus ~$150 for a clutch and gasket set. As I heard, lengthening and balancing the driveshaft would be around $150. The 727´s stock converter...

I have the possibility to buy a ´79 A-904 with TCI pan and TCI 2600(?) stall converter. Bands and clutches are worn, as I was told its driveable but would rev when braking. I´d go through the internals anyway... I think about installing it instead of my badly leaking 727. Car is a ´68 340 Cuda...

I´ve never seen anything steeper than 3.73 for a 741 case. It´s the weakest of the 8 3/4 units, not tough enough for racing, so nobody supports poor A-Body drivers... :sad2:

Over here nobody of the classic car crowd or the tech authorities knows anything about stock specs of a 340 Barracuda, but everything about 2002´s and bugs. It´s just: Classic shape ---> beautiful; V8 ---> fast So I keep the shape and make it even faster and everybody´s happy.

My top speed was 180 km/h. The car felt good at that speed and went straight. But the tires are indexed for 160 km/h, so I didn´t go further. Me trying to keep up with a friend´s 440 Chally on acceleration lane, both at WOT, left WO eyes in some BMW or turbo diesel driver´s faces.

Hi, I´m Alfred from Augsburg, Germany. I own a ´68 Barracuda 340S since 2004: Car has a stock 340 engine(except FBO), a 727 and a SG,3.23,8 3/4 rear. Being my first classic car, I like it very much. But that orange flashers are just ugly (don´t yet have clear ones). Last winter´s...

Same silver with my plaques.

Hi Buschi The original cam seems to be worn out, so I´d have to change it anyway. I measured at the pushrod with the rocker gear removed, and lift varied among lobes of the same kind. Alfred

Engine has X-Heads with 2.02"/1.60" valves. I´ll do no porting, just smoothing out casting burrs and sharp edges. Car is driven mainly in town at 40mph in D. But as it´s not a daily driver, it should make some serious stoplight performance (0-50mph) and should perform well when leaving town or...

Hi, my name´s Alfred. I´m new to this forum. I got a 340 in a ´68 Barracuda and want to give it a little more power. The engine is stock right now, even the cam, except for a FBO e-ingnition. I plan on removing the heads and doing a valve job and cleaning the ports, and replacing timing gear...
