I’ve heard about that mod, but usually don’t the 8.8s have to be shortened on one side? Last I saw, the Jeep rears just need the perches moved and the shock mounts cut off and use 8.75 shock plates. Unless I’m reading way wrong.....

Gonna hafts do some thinking on this. I know the rear had to go for sure. Not even going to try the 7.25. I guess I need to find a Jeep, make the mods to get the rear in it, then decide on the tranny. Lots to figure out. Again, thanks for all the input!

Just out of curiosity, how would a 904 work? I know they are getting harder to find, but the possibility is always there. I know I’m saving one of the 727s for my 318 that is going in the truck, but if I can find a 904...?

Well AJ, looks like you have put the skids on the 903. Might keep it around just for giggles if I ever wanted to make it original again. Of course, who would want an original 65 4 door anyway right? Not really worth much as far as resto. I always have the option of a 727, got 2 of them laying...

Again, thanks you for all the posts. I’m wanting to keep the original trans, just because this will be an occasional driver. Yeah, it’s an inferior tranny, but that will make it all the more unusual too. I’m going for the one of a kind A body. Tons of slants and V8s that look and perform...

Thanks for all the replies. I don’t have a manual from the Dakota, it’s a 518 auto, thus the 3-tree from the Valaint. Using a hyro from a newer truck is a possibility. I am leaning toward staying with the old school trans and linkage tho, it would keep the driveshaft issues fairly simple I...

My 3.9 is out of a 91 Dakota, so the early 1st gen. Was planning on keeping it stock, manifolds, intake, etc. I’m guessing that I can use the flywheel from an early 318 on it. Trying to figure out which fork I’ll need and if any of the linkage will need to be modified or if I’ll need other...

So call me crazy.... My 65 Valaint 4 door currently has a Slant 6 -3 speed (tree). I have a 3.9 V6 I’m going to put in it. Before anyone says “Just put a 319-360 in it”....not gonna happen. I want the 3.9. It’s unusual and rare, so ...done deal. Now for the good stuff. I want to keep the 3...

I think that's called "Lukewarm a/c" :thumbsup:

I have an under dash unit from my 65. It has the old style compressor, but I'm sure some one could make up some hoses for you. I have the condensor, lines, compressor, switches.....the whole shebang. How good any of it is, I couldn't tell you, but when I took it apart, it still have just a...
