    Any companies selling complete small block overdrive transmission assembles?

    Got my quote from Silversport. $5000. Seems like it’s good, but priced high for a 300’ish hp engine.

    Any companies selling complete small block overdrive transmission assembles?

    Looking to put an overdrive auto into a 73’ Duster and maybe another car. I’m looking for a company that sells everything so I don’t have to do any parts hunting. I know I will have to shorten the driveshaft, but that can be farmed out locally. I don’t want a gear vendor unit. If I’m going to...

    73' 904 swap to 727: what parts need to be swapped?

    Never knew the converters were unmerchantable between 904 and 727 trans. figured I would get one with trans as needed for my build.

    73' 904 swap to 727: what parts need to be swapped?

    So I'm sourcing parts for when the car is going to get stuff thrown at it. I know the 904 is bone stock and instead of trying to upgrade it, was looking to have a beefy 727 slapped in. besides the driveshaft, what parts will need to be swapped/modified to make it work? I do plan to swap from...

    How strong is an a-body 8.25 and can you make it stronger?

    ok. Confirmed with a few racers I know that used these rearends in the 1980's-1990's. general consensus from them was this. Based on launches, heavy vehicles, big tires. Stock, these could handle 350-400 hp/tq. upgraded axles, gears and a spool would be good to 450-500 hp/tq before significant...

    How strong is an a-body 8.25 and can you make it stronger?

    good golly, people getting excited about a question. My question was a simple one. Just wondering if there was a hp/torque range for these rearends is all. If they die at 350hp/tq, then say so. I figured it would blow up at real horsepower, but if I can cruise it around before I start going...

    How strong is an a-body 8.25 and can you make it stronger?

    Cool. I’m thinking if I decide to go big block, I could always sell it and swap in a 8 3/4 or a ford 8.8 rearend. It would just be nice to know what those little guys can take.

    How strong is an a-body 8.25 and can you make it stronger?

    So my 73’ duster just happens to sport the big bolt pattern 8.25 rearend. Now I plan to upgrade the engine to most likely a big block with a torque factor of ‘ridiculous’. These are not 8 3/4-Dana 50 rears, so I’m sure their power-to-survival rate is much lower. So my question is, how much power...

    A-body 8 3/4 rear, redrill small bolt to big bolt?

    There is a reputable source here in my erea that builds rearends, so I would probably use them. They have build a bunch of rearends for locals and had no problems with them.

    A-body 8 3/4 rear, redrill small bolt to big bolt?

    This is my first time posting a question here in the tech section, so hi to all and hope to learn something. Just picked up a 1970 dart 8 3/4 rearend that was pretty much fresh and ready to go, only problem was that the big bolt adaptor I was going to use won't work with the wheels I have. I...
