bolts right in UNLESS PO moved the springs on his car.

I had a small block Dart with solid Moroso engine biscuits and the standard OEM transmission mount. Worked with no problems. Was going to update to the later trans crossmember and urethane style mount...75 model.

does the 999 have the 2.74 first gear?

any concern for debris getting in there?

Vefron gears was one of the places recommended

did this on the floor in my younger days, don't remember how long the pipe extension was but it was 1/2" drive socket and breaker bar.

2.74 1st gear?

You're welcome. Glad I could remember something from transmission class and rebuilding one. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I believe there is a sheet metal baffle behind it...it's a vent. "Sometimes", a plug is put in and a vent is put on the tailshaft housing on top.

bolt hole up under lower starter nut and tubes are underneath starter/bellhousing/bracket. Guessing...

was thinking a cold cut saw, setting up would take some time,ya know,measure twice,cut once.

Grant, thank-you for the explanation. It just "seemed" easier to slip them on and weld but after your description I understand why that would not be the best way to do it. Guess I was looking for quick and easy...which might end up with more headaches in the end. Thanks again! Bob

are the housing ends which would be used when narrowing a housing that would "slip on" the tubing?

Gear lube or ATF fluid in trans? A friend had his redone and the rebuilder recommended ATF. Thought in past readings that was not going to work. Whatever the problem,hope it's simple.

could "drop" the center link, cut at each side and drop it with rectangular tubing(?), drill holes in sides and put the center link ends in. I can draw it better than I can explain it! there is probably a picture somewhere. done maybe for a BBC in a Chevy II?

are there any upper ball joints that have longer shanks? possibly in the oval track parts? the spacers are not more than 1/2"... reading about that trans crossmember, there is no mention of spacing the k-frame. if you were to use the 67-72 K-frame, use a thinner engine insulator. or fabricate one.

67-75 A-Body 518 Crossmember Kit

I spoke with Chris at US Car Tool yesterday about the 518 cross member. He stated clearly the sheet metal in the tunnel would not have to be removed with the use of their Crossmember. I asked him if they have additional pictures of the tranny installed or how many total cars their shop has...

I get it now. IF the whole brace had to be redone with it in the stock mount location, it might look like a 4WD with a transfer case hanging underneath there. I've got an A518 in the back of the garage but no A-bodies to wiggle it into. I'll keep watching and see what the outcome is. IF you had...

Is the transmission mount lower on the trans itself? Not trying to be my usual difficult self but it seems if you lowered both and could get away without notching anything, it would be a win-win! But that is just my thought, not actual experience. I'll be quiet now and listen and learn. Thanks...

would you be dropping the transmission crossmember and/or mount also?

8.8 swap Oops! got excited and posted before reading all the way thru and seeing he cut the housing.

there used to be Hone overdrive, that was external with it's own lever... Hone Manufacturing Co. not as I remember, thought it went at the tailshaft of the transmission

ask if they have a rebuilt model for less?

horse is out of the barn but squirting detergent on the bed would let it slide easier.

8-3/4 should be fine in a lite Dart...it'll just be spinning tires. THEN when it breaks, you can get the Dana. I beat my fine spline 4-speed,8-3/4 340 Dart and nothing broke. Even side stepping the clutch. And when it had slicks on it, it would bog but not spin the tires. In fact, that 8-3/4...

is the trans vent for the 904 up front? or is it toward the back on the tailshaft housing? for some reason, I picture a piece of sheetmetal over an opening that acts as the vent.

they were 4-1/2" bolt pattern.the parts were listed at one time in the original? DC catalog. or maybe in the brake section of the chassis manual. and technically i guess no BP 8-3/4 came "from the factory" in an A-body.

Hurst Super shifter with 9" stick, just comes to the top of the bench...if it's a 4-speed you are talking about. 14" also works well.
