BTW, looking at the van again I realize it's a 108 longer wheelbase...(as in 108" wheelbase...)

That's what I was thinking. Big tach, floor shifter, 360/727, discs up front, a '69 has drums all round right? I know worth is relative, but they're a rough value to things, I don't wanna pay to much, there was a '71 Sportsman for sale with a beefed up 360 and reverse pattern manual...

As the title says I'm looking at buying a 1969 Dodge A100 8 door panel van with a 273 3spd. I actually have no idea what one of these is worth. It's over here in Europe so there's a bit of a premium but I'm interested what you guys think it's worth or how much I'd pay for one outta Cali or...

Just to start with, I've been moving this past week so I didn't have time to check if there had even been responses. You guys/galls are friggin' funny. Gotta love forabodies, even if every time I mention someone asks me if it's the newest **** site.... That being said: No need to...

You guys and galls all have diverse tastes and thus this poll. I currently own a nice and clean '96 Jaguar Van den Plas, power everything, all stock. Gold on creme leather interior, picknick tables. Needs rims and window tint to meet my 'wrong' pimp ride status. I can sell my Jag and get...

Interesting train of thought... To answer your question: stock '81 318 heads with the emissions ports plugged. The intake is a Streetmaster so the skinny runners should compensate considerably for torque loss of the single plain due to increased velocity. Who else agrees or disagrees with...

I've got 3.23's so those are fine... The stock TC is bogging the engine down up to 2k rpm it just takes too long getting there and my TC feels like it locks up at 1100rpm if not lower. Once she's going it's a peppy little 318 and moves pretty darn well, it's just that take off...

Food for thought... I have a 904. 600 cfm Holley on there which shouldn't be too big. I have a TQ I could try...but this engine has performed very well in a truck with lower gears....

I'm going to try a TCI 904 Streetfighter, advertised flash of 3000RPM. Good deal from a buddy, so I'll let you guys know what I think of it in a a few weeks. I'm gonna get the suregrip 8 1/4 3.94 set just for the hell of it. Guys come down in price and if I'm still unhappy after the TCI...

So it has a stock feel untill you mash it? Tha's what I want! I'm goin' for it...What kind of stuff you done to your 340? You run a 904 or 727? Shift kit? Rear gears and tire size? Thanks man and everyone for input.

I meant to reference that you had given me specific experience and I thank you for it. It's just that I'm not going to be running 1/4's any time soon, all I meant was that one mans crap is anothers gold. Thanks for you input... rumblefish360: Yeah, it came with the motor. I don't get why...

the smaller of the two...the 2177 Specs: Duration at 0.006" Lift: Intake: 270° Exhaust: 270° Duration at 0.050" Lift: Intake: 204° Exhaust: 204°...

No ****.... that's 2 negatives on TCI, didn't expect that... but I can get it so cheap! Budgets always play a role....

thanks Joe, I've actually only heard good things about quality. I was wondering if people had experience with the slippyness...

I can get a TCI Streetfighter Torque Converter for 150,- I've got a mild 318 w/ Edelbrock's cam, Streetmaster 318 intake, Hooker headders, dual exhaust, 4bbl Holley with 3.23 gears. I can get this Streetfighter cheap but was also looking at their specs on the Breakaway and wondering if it's a...

and a warm welcome from the European chapter!!!

Other projects have kept me busy but I'm gettin there on this pickle.... I'm still not sure if I wanna do gears first or stall converter, I like my 3.23's for highway but can pick up a 3.91 suregrip 8 1/4 for 300 bucks, all still in packaging.... it's tempting...could always switch back to...

Amen! Ditto Haha, I search every single day also... I've also been trying to catch a guy when he's home who's got a '70 Pontiac Formula just sitting still in good enough shape... We're all addicts!:toothy10:

Allright guys and galls, I'm getting to a point in life where I've owned a LOT of cars, and even though I'm only 28 it's been well over 150, granted some only for a few months but long enough to love em' or hate em'. The problem I have is that I fall in love with cars very easily, they all...

I'll check Ebay and on here too, thanks. Torque wrench: check Yoke holder: I'll think of something Stout breaker and 3/4ths set: check Hydraulic press is at the local mechanics I can use his... Pinion depth kit? Dial type torque wrench? I might just be sol here in Europeland lol, see if I...

Makes sense, no special tools required? Nothing needs to be pressed in etc.? By driveshafts, I meant the two left/right going from diff to wheels. I'm not a real termonologist (I just made that up...) thanks,

Oke, so you're saying lower gears will get me peg legging myself crazy? I can see that, although with 295/50's traction is pretty darn good. Let's say I go for the suregrip internals with the 4.10 gears, total cost aprox 450 USD. What's the process for swapping my old gears for the new setup...

I'm working on getting the right converter for my app, figuring out if I'm keeping this cam etc. and thus what stall speed to go with. In the meantime I've decided that depending on the gearing and width of my budies Ramcharger 8.75 suregrip (if it doesn't fit or have 4.10's) I wanna build my...

What about putting a '74 Valiant Coupe hood and grille on? Hood, grille and bumper, do I need the quarter panels for that or are they the same?

Haha, this is very off topic although it does relate to the great feeling of replacing suspension stuff to get it feeling right again... It's only the EJ20 2ltr but still puts out a respectable 140 HP and aprox. 300 ft/lbs torque. Not to bad for a 1450 lbs car that started life with a supposed...

??????

Yeah, the gearing on that thing must have been pretty steep... What's the correlation between the converter size and end result? So the Hughes your buddy had stalled earlier than advertised? I read another post in which you described the two types of converters, tight and loose I believe, I'd...

And any progress yet? I'm interested as I'm looking for a converter for my mild 318 too.

that's what I'm sayin' Now where can I get my hands on some guts to mash in my spare 904?!?!

The converter and trans seem to be the bottleneck in launch and acceleration respectivly. One of my concerns is budget, I've got aprox 400 to 500 to spend, less if possible (more to other stuff) the other major concern for me is shipping costs over here. Also as I may change the cam or drop in a...
