How are the transmission alignment dowels? I'm thinking maybe that's the issue?

I wish I remembered the part number..... This is an attention getter for sure. And no, I don't hit the dash in first or third. :thumleft:

You have my attention too as I'm seriously considering a 5 or 6 speed swap.....

Am I confusing transmissions? Isn't the T5 a TREMEC? And which transmission should I be looking for? If not the TREMEC, what AM I looking for? I know it's not going to be an afternoon bolt-in, but like I said, I just want to know what to keep my eyes open for. I run across, shall we say...

Which is the better T5? I figured if I can score the box cheap by keeping my eyes & ears open I'll go for the swap if it's within reason. I'll do a search. I like my 4:10's, but hate 3,200 RPM on the highway..... in the right lane.

I'm not sure if I want to do this or not, but supposed I wanted to swap in a T5 in my Barracuda, what would I need? I can *probably* locate the transmission, just need to know what else is involved. I know Quick-Time had bell housings at one time. Can anyone list what's needed and who to...

Thanks for all the responses guys! Rob called me yesterday at work to let me know about Nassau Drive Shaft after he spoke with Tim. They'll get the call later today. Thanks again Rob! After enjoying about 300 miles of cruising, I'm pulling her (partially...) apart. I need to change my fan...

Me thinks my driveshaft may be out of balance. I get a nasty vibration at about 3,500-4,000 RPM. I have the correct dampener & flywheel on my 360.... new U-joints....scattersheild is aligned.... mounts are good. Question is, is there a reputable shop out here on Long Island that can balance my...

I figured I'd answer my own question so maybe someone else has it easier.... I found a vendor on e-Bay that makes his own: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Motorcitysupercars__W0QQ_armrsZ1 Last I heard it cost over $200 to have Hurst rebuild your shifter. For $23 I'll take my chances on a...

I did a search here and came up with nothing... Wondering what my options are for having my Hurst Comp Plus shifter rebuilt. It shifts like a straw in sand and really don't want to send it out. Is there anything availiable? Thanks guys.

Here's more info.... 8) http://www.autohobbydigest.com/a-rearend.html

If the guy wants to sell, you should be able to scrutinize every corner of the car.... Grab a pencil and a piece of paper and make a tracing of the fender tag, go home and de-code it. And if it's an 8 3/4 rear (not the 8 1/4 you mentioned...) $300 is worth it for the rear end alone. Otherwise...

Did you have a really tight bend in it? And was it downstream of a heat source? After running it to operating temp. and then having it sit still and "cook", you might have accidentally compromised the sheathings integrity (translation: it %$#@#$-up). Or check the ground straps.... :-D

Check your chassis ground Joe.... This was a common problem with GM's back in the 70's. Battery ground cable would corrode and cook the shifter cable.

Kustoms by Krylon.... :-D I wish powder-coating was in the budget. I wanted to do the K frame and A-arms too..... But I couldn't justify the expense. :angry7:

Don't know if any of this will help, but it couldn't hurt..... http://www.autohobbydigest.com/8_75.html

Just to prove I do more around here than aggravate people.... http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/howto/155_0308_mopar_rear_end_gears_set_up/index.html

While I couldn't find the exact number posted either, but here's what I did find: http://www.mymopar.com/downloads/transguide.pdf

My Wife almost broke a toe tripping over a driveshaft safety loop, of all things....in the living room. So, the dishwasher does a good job on seat belts, huh? Hmm.... :wink:

I asked the same dumb question, so your not alone. AN sizes are derived from the size of the line. A 3/8' tranmission cooler line would be -6. Hose Size is the measurement of the Inner Diameter of the hose measured in units of 1/16th of an inch.Examples:a -2 hose has an I.D. of 1/8"a -3 hose...

YIKES! No sooner did I click on it I got a warning about spyware from that site! But I did manage to read a bit. I'll check it out at work tomorrow....:salute:

This is a good start as far as learning a 489 from a 741... http://www.autohobbydigest.com/8_75.html

The pilot bearing from a Dakota is for the 360 with the large opening in the flywheel end of the crank. A 273 should be the standard 273-318-340 piece. Check the item on the right in the link from Mancini's. http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/pilotbearing.html

This might help you as far as 8 3/4 rears goes: http://www.autohobbydigest.com/8_75.html http://www.moparts.com/Tech/Archive/axle.html http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/875axle.shtml http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/diffchart.shtml...

Just trying to help ya out! Now if someone asks YOU if you know where to find 8.75 info, you can help them out. Thats what makes a hobby fun: Interaction. Thanks for the kind offer on dinner. If I can help again in the future I'll do what I can. :)

Ask and thou shall receive...... http://www.autohobbydigest.com/8_75.html

That's what I'm looking for. Thank you for the quick reply!

Geee.... Just ONE of the downsides to our "new" board is that we lost all of our previous posts that were saved from back when it had "no personality". I'm so happy things are better.... Anyone remember the exact application I need for the pilot bearing for a 4 spd MP short block? I think it...

I'll stick my neck out and say the pad type mount from either a small block or big block will work. The 6 cylinder mount might be a spool, which is a totally different animal. Schumacher makes a nice engine torque arm, but at $69.00 ( plus shipping...) it's a bit pricey for what it. But then...

I think he's looking to machine a flywheel, not a flex plate. I bought a 360 flywheel from Chrysler for $230. You *might* get lucky and find one in a wrecking yard. The backside will have huge circular reliefs cut into it compared to a 273-318-340 which is smooth.
