It was actually warm today and now the sunset isn't till a little later like quarter after 5. I went to the yard straight from work, and I got the rear cover off and drained the oil. That stuff is pretty strong, but I don't mind it as long as it doesn't get all over everything. The caps look...

So I mentioned in my rally dash thread that I ran out of time on Sunday, and I wasn't able to work in the yard at all on Saturday because I got called into work. After working on my valiant dash for awhile, I did get this 7.25 rear end out of the car. The 66 barracuda this came out of is half...

This is a Dana 30 so I am thinking it's similar. I guess I will find out real soon here LOL

So I have not ever disassembled a 7 1/4 rear end before (usually you remove them from the car and toss) but I need to remove the spider gears for another member. Is it much different from a 8.25 ? can someone describe the steps to removing the spider gears so I don't lose much time messing...

I sit on the inner fender and lean over the engine and get them out from the top. If the hood is removed, that helps but you should still fit in there even with the hood on. Just don't sit on the battery and don't sit on the washer jar because they always break. In fact I just remove the...

That's only if you use one from an explorer. The ranger is ready to go as is. The reason more people prefer the explorer rear over the ranger rear is because the axles are thicker on the Explorer and the explorer rear is going to have disc brakes. The ranger didn't have as thick of axles...

I have one in my 68 dart.... You need to cut off the ranger spring brackets including the ones for the shocks. Weld a pair of these on and make a driveshaft and enjoy limited slip and a ton of aftermarket support for rebuilds and gear changes. Mopar Performance P4120074 Mopar Performance Rear...

In 2021. Dollar for dollar, a ford 8.8 out of a ranger or explorer is the best value per dollar you can buy. 8.25 rear ends used to be plentiful but most people who say they are now in 2021 are living in the past because they are just not around and certainly not the cheap rear ends they used...

you need an A body main shaft and tail housing. its going to be a bit expensive but worth it to do it right. bigblockdart dot com speaks of fitting the A/E unit with a plate and grinding this and that. That will work but its the Ghetto solution. Nothing involved with the 833 is going to be...

Wouldn't a 64 have had a push button setup with an automatic?? I have everything for this swap if it were a 68 or newer car, I do not have anything for an early A in stock. :(

Remove the driveshaft and use an extra slip yoke bail wired to the tailhousing to seal the trans.

I can honestly say that I've never bottomed my car out to where the ground touched driveline parts. I have no idea what the hell kind of driving does that. I guess if your rock crawling main street lol

So would it be as easy as buying a napa drain plug, drilling a hole and welding a standard nut on the inside? Will the drain plug seal in a regular nut? Where is the best place to put a plug..... side or bottom ?? I was thinking on the rear vertical part of the pan.

Good stuff to know, thanks everyone. That's real good news because I found a 76/7 HP one that was behind a 400. The absolute oldest i found is 1966 and I do have quite a few 66 to 70 and only a slim pick of 71 and up.

That's normally me, but this is a friend's car I thought you are the automatic guy around here

So I'm trying to put a car together for a friend and I went to my transmission core pile and I see a lot of 66 to 70 dated cores along with a few 74 to 78 cores. I'm thinking the latter ones are better to use and get parts for but I will admit, I don't know much about torqueflight. So are...

So I never paid attention to anything with automatics, those weird alien engineered fluid couplers but I have a 727 and I'm trying to identity it but I don't know how the pattern works. It says H2538334 2683425 on the pan rail. Can anyone explain how these numbers work?

The OD is longer and regular 4 speed The one I need Is from a 9.5 inch bellhousing. So any slant six with the standard bell OR 273 when the cast iron 9.5 inch bell was used.

GM had their own version of the NP 833. the GM version is a popular replacement for the 3 speed Borg Warner transmission because it has the same bolt pattern. I'm not sure how different or same the bolt pattern is between the gm and Chrysler version is but if I were working on a GM, I'd first...

Does anyone know what is the correct clutch fork for a slant six to 4 speed with the "027" bellhousing? I'm guessing a standard slant six fork will work but I want to be sure before I get this transmission in the car and possibly have to pull it again.

Did your transmission have one of those huge cast iron weights on the tail shaft?? Is it there now?

So I was looking for a transmission oil pan with a drain plug. I know Chrysler made them because I had a 70 fury with OE transmission pan and it did have a drain plug. So i can't find any stock replacement ones but I found a few aftermarket options. All of those are deeper pans and have a...

What kind of carburetor do you have and is the kickdown linkage set up right? Kickdown linkage can cause a blown transmission if you leave the detent open or partially open.

Is it early or is it a late Christmas gift, I thought I remember you saying in PM that you wanted one of those rear ends around the time you sold the gold duster....:)

It's a Dana type rear end

What kind of car is this?? I am guessing later, because the plastic filler instead of lead, so I am calling 72 or newer. Then there is the roof mounted seat belt, so now i am calling 73 or newer. ??

I am not even sure what I should do about a particular 727. So I have a 66 polara and it was taken off the road in 1996 due to the transmission going out. So in 1997 they rebuilt a transmission for the car. I have the receipt and it shows summer of 1997 by the top transmission shop in town...

Just to test the rear end strength, what I can do. This Christmas strap a big *** Christmas tree to the top, load the back with big heavy Christmas gifts, maybe even throw a toddler or two in there so that its really loaded down. Then do a mean burn out and leave two thick black marks. A...

Actually no, a hyper pak six and when I say hyper pak, i don't mean just a 4 barrel manifold, I really mean the long manifold like the original, real hyper paks It is a 4 speed though

A yoke would probably go first
