    70 dart 6.4 8hp70 for mom

    Looking great! Looks like it's in good hands. I really like how they did the tunnel work. Looking at the engine Pic from the drivers side, it looks like the Active Runner Actuator isn't gonna fit.. Gonna use a delete kit?

    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    Went ahead and grabbed a set of 3.23s.. I think I can deal with them. Previously I was running right around 2600 @ 70 with 2.7s and a 26" tall tire (lockup wasn't working right) and it didn't bother me. Now the trans is built up a bit and the lockup should be golden. So I should be in the same...

    Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392

    I did grab it.. Just sawzalled the driveshaft off and left it attached. I'll take all of my pieces to Chuck Paterson and have him make me something up. He used to have a shop in Indy and built Nascar driveshafts. He's just a few miles from me now.. One of the few places that I don't have to...

    Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392

    Yea prices are crazy everywhere.. 5-800 just for a good 8-3/4 center section. So even if a guy narrows a free b body housing, he's looking at a grand for center section and axles. I did come across a decent deal for a complete A body with one wheel peel for $400..but it was 7 hours away. I'd...

    Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392

    It's an 8.8 out of a Ford explorer. Alot of them were LSD and all explorers have a 31 spline axle and 95 up are disc brake. Pretty common swap in the states for alot of hot rodders. Explorers went to IRS in 02 with the exception of a few sub models. 2-7/8" of the drivers side tube is cut out...

    Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392

    Pulled out the 7-1/4, narrowed my 8.8 this weekend and got the perches on. I set it in and was going to set the pinion angle but it just wasn't possible with the car in the air and i don't have the plates yet. So I just set the perches like a A body 8-3/4 and welded them on. If I need to shim...

    Damn Whipper Snappers.. Time to go drink some Whipple!!!! BTW.. I ordered some 3.27s. If I have to change again when (if) I do an overdrive.. It is what it is.

    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    I came across this calculator this morning and I like that it has side by side comparisons Gear Ratio Calculator I put the 46 on one side and the 8hp on the other. Since 3rd on 46 and 6th on the 8 are 1:1, I can look at those columns and know thats what my 904 will be at... Talking with a few...

    Just read up on 8HP70.. Final Dive isn't that much different than the 46. 8th gear is .6667 (first is 4.6957 lol)

    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    Maybe I'm using the calculator wrong.. I'm coming up with right around 2k at 70mph with a 46RH and 3.08s at 70mph.. 1500 at 55. 3.73 will raise those RPMs by 300. Kind of a double edged sword that I'm playing with here. If I do go to 3.08, chances are that I'll want to regear if I end up going...

    I like the idea that you did so much highway time with the 3:23. I'll have to think on the 3.08 and do some reading.. As I mentioned, I'll eventually put something an OD in. So, I'm not sure what final drive etc is with something like a 46rh Thanks for the input!

    Ya know, that's kinda it.. I've not run a 3.73 in the Dart, so I guess I'm not sure what to expect.. Is it gonna just feel wrong? If it feels wrong to most, then I'm sure it wont feel right to me either.

    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    A quandary indeed! I looked at the 3.55s originally. The RPM difference is only a few hundred below the 3.73. I may occasionally hit a track but it's mostly just a fun driver..PS,PB, Factory AC, Bench a Column Shift.. Something for the wife and I to have fun in.

    8.8 swap

    This reminded me.. Has anyone developed a plug for the tone ring sensor? Seems like that would be an easy one for a 3D printer guy. My buddy is pretty good with 3D printing but recently moved and isn't set up yet. Also, I've been thinking a little about some kind of snubber... as a few others...

    Leaning towards a 3.27 but wanted to hear if others were hating their 3.73s on the highway or if it was tolerable, before spending the money on a gear set

    Those Running 3.73 And a TF w/ LockUp.. What's your highway Driving Like?

    IKR.. There was a time that 3 grand was normal in a mild street car. I knew that if I was taching 31-3200 with my 3.55s and a 4 speed, I was doing 70 or so... Didn't bother me a bit. Now that I'm much older, not sure how I'm gonna feel about it. Just wondering if the lockup is gonna make it...

    I've an 8 speed in my other swap (64 A100 Truck) with 3.55s...cruises nice at around 1900. Just trying to decide if 3000 rpm is gonna drive me insane

    Doing a rear-end swap.. The one going in is a 3.73 and I'm just not sure if I'm going to like that gear. It'll see a little bit of highway time but not alot.. car shows, occasional drive to work etc. Possibly Power Tour.. 69 Dart with a 6.4 Hemi and a 904 lockup.. Just a driver and not a track...

    8.8 swap

    Well, I picked up an 8.8 out of a late 90s Explorer over the weekend from a local Pull A Part.. $120 after core charge. (Core charge lol) It's a 3.73 LSD but I believe I'm going to go ahead and change it to 3.27. I just don't think I'm going to like the highway RPMs with the 904.. The 6.4...

    BTW, I do recall turn 1 stating that they would have sock again by mid to late March. I was lucky enough that Blake at Sublime has a spare that he sold me. Even tho it was a 2.5, it was reading a little lower than that on my analyzer...but I think I'm fine. If you want to test your system, I...
