    904 For Towing Duties?

    If i was going to sink money into one I would pull a 727 from an RV that has all the heavy internals and build it to put in there. That being said, ive been towing stuff for years with my V8 4x4 Dakota assuming it had a A518 behind it but one day I jacked it up and it was an A500 which is...

    Flywheel question with pics

    Thats a neutral balance, not uncommon to have a bunch of balance holes drilled in it. Externally balanced flywheels would have a series of 3 huge holes on the back side. As long as its for the 10.5 inch clutch(130 tooth) your fine

    thoughts on ratchet shifters?

    Yes, That's the one I'm talking about. If your basing your opinion on the way it "looks" then theres not much use in talking about it. Based on 35 years of real world experience the Cheetah is an infinitely better shifter for all the reasons I mentioned. Go to the US nationals and walk around...

    thoughts on ratchet shifters?

    "one of the reasons I am considering it is because at some point in thinking of adding headers to the car and ive read the shifter linkage tends to interfere? " I ran a 1966 Belvedere with a 426 Hemi that had 2 1/4 primaries on the headers and they didn't even interfere with the column shift...

    thoughts on ratchet shifters?

    The Winters/Fairbanks/Turbo Action shifters are available for forward or reverse patterns. They are far superior to any ratchet shifter made. I used to call my B&M shifter a rat sh#t shifter or a jack off shifter because it always felt like that's what you were doing to get them in gear. I...

    thoughts on ratchet shifters?

    Just my opinion, I hate ratchet shifters for a multitude of reasons. In the last 35 years I've owned a bunch of them and I never had one I thought was worth a darn. When I run manual automatics I will use a Winters/ Fairbanks/Turbo action cable shifter and the reason for that is that when you...

    4.56s on the steet ?

    It all goes back to tire size, if you have a Dart and that usually equals short tires, stick with something 3.23 or less. If you run tall tires you can get away with a 3.55 or 3.91. I had 3.23 in my 70 340 swinger with stock tires on rallies and believe me on a 100 mile trip down the interstate...

    4.56s on the steet ?

    If you get 4.56 you wont see much highway, maybe from one exit to the next. If your in college go find a 2.76 or 2.94 sure grip out of an old Imperial or New Yorker and stick it in there till you graduate. You have the rest of your life to make stupid mistakes like trying to live with a 4.56 on...

    Whats this look like to you?

    That is just a standard balance weight to make sure your internaly balanced torque converter is neutral,like a tire weight. Any external balancing weight will be welded to the back of the converter towards the engine.All of the ones pictured are neutral balanced(unless they also have a weight on...
