    Can't figure out how to mount this wheel

    I need a new one. Nice looking. MOPAR replacements are immitted. Looked at a few but the attachment hardware make them stick out too far.

    Front end setup (Drag Racing)

    The "V6" bars have been the trick for a long time. Had some on the car for several years. You have to watch the hight of the front end over time they will get even weaker and the car will start to bottom out on small bumps. But for a Dragstrip only car they work. Good luck and have fun. You...

    Cap OD for a 7290 Yoke is 1 1/8 inches, for the 1350 is 1 3/16 inches. on a 12.5 sec 3600 lbs car is the step up worth it?

    I have been running a rear conversion u-joint old smaller to a 7290. 7290 on the center section. Been nervous about it for a while. I just keep it greased well.. that's the big reason to change or update the drive shaft.

    Cap OD for a 7290 Yoke is 1 1/8 inches, for the 1350 is 1 3/16 inches. on a 12.5 sec 3600 lbs car is the step up worth it?

    Thinking about having a new light weight drive shaft made. Looks like not all companies make drive shaft yoke to fit the 7290. But it looks like the 1350 is everywhere. I beat the crap out of this car on the street and at the track. I have a Gear Vendors unit on the trans. It's output shaft has...

    Dampener bolt patterns LA motors

    .50" is a lot! There are water jackets there. I have a set of AL cutters an have opened these heads up for roller lifters, but 1/2 inch off the outside makes me nervous. I have heavily ported these heads. But nothing like a 1/2 inch. But I have cut some of of it away. I question why the stick...

    Dampener bolt patterns LA motors

    That was what I was wondering. My 69 Cuda had A/C on it but the people I bought it from had taken it out and threw it away. They had left the double crank pulley on the dampener. After putting the Edelbrock heads on I just used the larger outer pulley. I am now switching to a serpentine belt...

    Dampener bolt patterns LA motors

    I actually use stainless spacers on the alternator bracket from Ace Hardware. They were inexpensive and several different lengths. They look good and last forever.

    Dampener bolt patterns LA motors

    Is the bolt pattern on the dampener of a 340 the same as 440 or Hemi, that holds the pulley in place, or is the LA smaller? I have a set of Edelbrock heads and need to add a 0.50" spacer so the alternator will clear the head. Not finding one for a LA motor but there is 6 bolt hole for a Hemi...

    904 dragging in reverse

    Took it for a little 200 mile run from Lansing MI to Saugatuck MI all two lane. It ran great. Shifted fine. It was just over 90° outside. The transmission ran hot went up to 210°. But there were curves, hills and several stop signs. Every time it dropped below 200° I hit a stop. Tried to cruise...

    904 dragging in reverse

    I dropped the pan & readjusted the rear band. 72 in, lbs 4 turns out. It is working fine now. It dose have an A&A Automotive reverse valve body in it and feels like it is not shifting/grabing as hard, but I have not driven it very hard yet. It was over filled with trans fluid to. The fluid was...

    904 dragging in reverse

    Was driving the other day. Backed out of my garage no problem. Drove 30 miles pulled into a parking spot. When it came time to leave had to give the motor a bunch more RPM to back out. Dropped my driveshaft from the rear-end. In neutral, It turned freely in one direction. The Forward direction...

    Difference between heads hyd flat vs roller

    Here you can see how tall roller lifters are. You need to shorten the push rods & open the guide holes for the angle change going to the rockers.

    Difference between heads hyd flat vs roller

    Here is the porting I did. You can see how the push rod tubes interference. Opening them you have tobe very careful in the runners & in the tube. You can see them on the top of the whole head. The holes at the top close to the outside.

    Difference between heads hyd flat vs roller

    The front. This is 3/8 thick. I believe 1/4 inch thick would have been much easier to work with/bend. My wife was heating the top and I heated the bottom. Used a Harbor Freight break to bend it. It fits tight to the hood. It was very important to use two heat guns. We also heated the break as...

    Difference between heads hyd flat vs roller

    The big thing is that the roller lifters are taller. This changes the angle of the pushrods going through the heads and will bind and scrape in the tubes of the heads. Edelbrock makes heads with that clearance. At least this is the case with the LA heads. I had to modify mine. I was too cheap...

    8 3/4 into an early A

    You need to first install the rear end then measure the from the center of the trans U joint to the center of the pinion u joint. QA1 has the information on how to do it right, on their web page. Check the width. They can be different also. Good luck.

    How to Install High Performance Front Clutch Spring in 904 Transmission

    I paid to have this done. I can take a motor apart and not blink an eye. But I pay to do everything on my 904 transmission. It was all A-1 parts inside now. But that is after years of paying to have it rebuilt after the next weakest part broke and it was replaced by the newest strongest &...
