I can personally vouch for this.I just replaced one in a 66 A100 van and it's about 3x as heavy as it looks. Just to clarify,the 745 has the shift levers mounted on the side of the cast iron case with a tin cover on the top for access. I've seen them described in factory literature as a...

I remember hearing somewhere that turbo motors work best by torquing against taller gears (like 3.27s) for longer periods as opposed to revving fast and dropping RPMs (and boost) in quick succession like you would with lower gears like 3.73 or 4.10.Maybe a turbo expert could correct or confirm...

If you know what year/model the transmission came from then the ratios are listed in various places,sometimes in the owners manual for that particular car,in the factory service manual for sure,and in on different websites that have scanned factory sales literature like this one...

Supposedly the case hardening extends down the axle into where the new splines are cut so there's still some strength there but cutting new splines into a case hardened shell won't be as good as the factory roll forged splines. As a previous poster stated,they probably won't stand up to drag...

I just looked this up the other day in an old article from Mopar Action as I'm planning on doing the same swap.Here's a list of what they found that usually works as long as they're not excessively undercut: 69 or 70: C-body wagon 71: any C-body or B-body wagon 72 or 73: any B-body wagon or...

I found one hiding under a 70 four door Dart just a couple months ago.Car was a base model 318,904 auto and what appeared to be a factory installed 8 3/4 rear with 2.76 open gears along with the correct driveshaft.No trailer tow package,no heavy duty anything,just a regular plain jane 4dr Dart...

installing an IRS would take ton of fabrication and mods so unless you're an experienced race car fabricator,it's probably not going to work for you. 9.25 rears are plenty strong and parts are fairly cheap if you're willing to scrounge through junkyards or swap meets plus your existing e-brake...

That's a great tip,thanks. I'll order a couple extras so I can spend hours looking for them next time I need them as well...:-s

This thread should be saved for reference.I have this exact problem on my 70 Road Runner and this is super helpful.

You should be able to use that transmission without much of a problem except for finding a driveshaft.If it is the long tailshaft trans then it's a somewhat common driveshaft if you have an 8 3/4 rear but if it's a shorty trans then you'll probably have to get a longer driveshaft shortened to...

Actually that's somewhat good news if it is as I've got a disassembled 73 340 in my garage so I have the option of building if for a stick car if I want.

I have this flywheel of unknown origin that I'm trying to identify,the guy I got if from told me if was from a small block,most likely a 340 but did'nt know what year. Anyways,it has 130 teeth and looks like it would take a 10.5" clutch so that's a good sign but after I saw this diagram in...

I'm guessing the first video was shot before you repaired the u-joint strap as there's only one bolt holding it on and it's off centre. It looks like the play inside the u-joint itself is causing your problem.The outside caps of the u-joint should'nt move separately from the inner cross piece...

I'd guess that the problem is with the U-joints or the rear end. I'd park the car somewhere level,put it in neutral,set the emergency brake and turn the driveshaft back and forth by hand.Is there play in the rear end? does it feel like it stops right away against the gears or does it feel like...

That's a great link,thanks.Going by that info it looks like my trans is a 70-74 B/E unit with a 71-up B-body shifter. Next task is to figure out what kind of shape it's in internally and what it's worth.

I think those might be an old metal plumbing elbow,defintely an odd arrangement.It might work well if you had really rusty floors then you could add it as you drive but otherwise,how would you get fluid in there from underneath like that? and how would you be able to tell when it's filled to the...

Got a package deal on a disassembled 340 and a mystery trans that the seller had no info on as it came along with a 71 Dart he had just bought. My best guess is it's an e-body unit going by the 16.5" tailshaft and the short shifter but my 4-speed knowledge is pretty limited so any input would...
