I had good luck with Turbo Action converters, as far as off-the-shelf converters go. Bought them both from Mancini, behind a 360 built similar to your 318 they both stalled at 2900. Yours will be lower due to less torque, but it would be worth looking into and I think it would be a good match...

I would contact Summit Racing, tell them you are thinking of ordering a converter but you want the same one you already have. Tell them you aren't sure of the brand, and could they help you find out. Give them the same info you have on here, and if you talk to Customer Service, a Senior Rep...

I agree with both of you, I have experienced my fair share of converter woes (TCI breakaway behind a mild olds 455, stalled at 2800 when I installed it, 200 miles later it was stalling at 3600! I worked at summit at the time, so I asked a TCI rep about it, claiming we had a customer with that...

Better than nothing tho! lol. I have used cheap converters before, and although I am sure I would have had better performance from a quality-built converter, at least I got to have some fun when I didn't have money!

X2! He has a very good starting point, and some changes would really bring that thing to life! I mentioned going milder based on the other threads. He had slot of good suggestions from you guys, and your guys really know your stuff!

I didn't mean to offend you or anything, just stating a fact. I understand about money, believe me. It's when you DON'T have alot of cash that you really have to not only ask for opinions, but do research on the parts, and decide what you want your car to do. Don't buy something to compensate...

I guess you need to decide what YOU want out of your car.

Lol I will give it a go. I would leave the engine alone. Get a good 3200ish converter. 3.73 gears and a sure-grip, pretty sure you have to change the carrier since you have 2.45 gears. My .02 cents. But....if you have to change the engine combo, the Voodoo cam, an air-gap, and a...

Same as above, mine is glass bead blasted, all the shields, etc.

I figured if I could get away with very little cash outlay and have the rearend last, then that would be perfect. I doubt that anytime soon I'll have the money for sticky tires, so I'll be good in that respect. Alot of people have also said they think the axles would be the first thing to get...

And I just realized I clicked on the wrong forum for this thread. Freakin ADHD. Got too many tabs pulled up...

I took out my 904, bought a rebuild kit with the good clutches, etc for around $200, and talked to some local mechanics and mopar buddies, found a guy that has been a mopar tech for 30+ years and pretty much focuses on transmissions, he charged me $150 plus any other parts (I think it was...

I have heard some good experiences (real life stories) and bad rumors (no real stories) about 8.25 rears. So, I decided to see if mine will last. I have a 73' Dart Sport 340. It has a 3.21 geared open 8.25 rear in it, I don't think it is the original rear but it is an a-body rear. The...

Hahaha true!! I found it in a pile of ps and alt brackets that I have, so I took it to work and media blasted it. If I could find out what the heck its for, then I may be able to sell it lol. I'm trying to get rid of everything I dont need...my ocd is horrible lately and its hard for me to...

Good idea...I didn't even think of that. Thanks!

I'm assuming it is for a manual trans shifter, as it says 833 and 230 on it. Different mounting points, etc? I have no idea where I got it, how, why, etc. Anyone know what it is?

I don't remember the details, but I have heard that you can use 4wd parts to make the ball/trunion set up a little stronger? I wish I could remember where I heard that. I think it could probably be done, I'd call Passion Performance and get Jamies opinion. I've heard he knows his stuff...

I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread. After all the good/not good comments with really no proof of either, some of what is on here is very interesting and makes me curious as well as to how this trans would be in a higher hp a-body. I have my 904 for my 422, but I'd LOVE an OD. I know when I...

I'm pretty sure it was rebuilt to high performance specs, its been a couple of years since it was done but I had it done with 12 second runs in mind. Now it may be quite a bit faster. I think I will invest in an input shaft and billet hub converter, as before I had it rebuilt I had cracked two...

I'll have to check mine. Its a mid-70s 904. Is it stamped on the lever, the ratio? How hard are they to change? I think the transmission will end up being my weak link, but for now, its all I have and can afford. Hopefully it suprises me though. Is there anything else I can do to it to...

Seems like everyone is happy with the valvebody they bought! I'm always watching for deals, I'm on a TIGHT budget, so I was wondering...is there anything wrong with used valvebodies? Should I do anything else with the transmission when I change the valvebody? It was rebuilt with a mancini kit...

Thanks! Thats what I wasn't too sure about...the low band apply. Now I have an idea as to what to get! I checked out the turbo action ones, then I was browsing the mancini website and saw the griner vb. Seems like they are all about the same price. Are there any I should avoid?

Building my 422 with indy heads and roller cam. My question is: What manual valvebody would be best for my application? The trans has been rebuilt with good parts, and for now, its all I have. I do want a manual valvebody. It will see alot of street and some strip, but it will be run hard...

My brother did this on his, took them off a 7 1/4 and put them on his 8 3/4. he may have had to elongate a hole or something? I don't remember, I just know that they fit on almost perfectly.

Wow! Thanks Darter6! Definitely on the heavy side!

Thats ok Kernel! I agree, that friggin thing is heavy. I crawled on my knees cradling the rearend to get it under the car, thought it was going to break my back.

Thanks for the offer BlueSwinger! Hope you feel better.

Mine is still in the car haha. I have shipped them before, but for the life of me I can't remember how heavy they are!

Anyone? I just need a shipping quote lol.

Anyone know about what an a-body 8 3/4, drum to drum, weighs? Approximate? I'm giving a slightly educated guess of 210-220lbs.
