Try rephrasing your question in different ways when you do the thread searches, sometimes that's the most time consuming part of doing the research. Short answer; pre Hemi motors are a virtual bolt in with the right bits and you'll find the earliest versions of the 500 (904) and 518 (727)...

Pinion size as explained above.

Cheapest and easiest way into a large bolt pattern axle for your "A" body? No brainer here; just do a little research so you know what to look for (starting here was good) like just about any '73 to '76 7 1/4" or 8 1/4" rear axle from a disc brake "A" body for instance, then network with all...

Time to crawl under that begger and take a look. If the front yoke is still intact and hanging on the output shaft, probably not. If you exploded the front yoke like I did once, you might find the transmission extension housing in pieces, most of them gone. I found several laying on the...

When preparing to change out the Camaro's transmission from the T350 I installed instead of the original powerglide when I built and installed it's 350 motor (from a six), I researched information on these transmissions intently and NEVER seriously considered a 700R4. The gear spread is lousy...

I have long felt the 200R4 was more desirable than the 700 to the point of installing one in my sister's '68 Camaro, but I also know unmodified examples of these transmissions are known to fail, even behind stock low horsepower 4.1 Cadillac grenades. You need to add aftermarket internals and...

200R4 is roughly the size and weight of a turbo 350, takes the same rear yoke as the powerglide, turbo 350, and most all GM stick transmissions. That makes it fit better with fewer modifications to a recepient chassis than than the R700 or any of the T400 based transmissions. Earlier versions...

The short tailshaft A833 was manufactured for A bodies and F bodies. While all '76 Feather Dusters and Dart Lites used a short tailshaft aluminum case version of the OD833 and it certainly was not all that uncommon in other late A bodies or even F bodies, it doesn't mean all shortshaft OD 833s...

First off, stay far, far away from a transmission shop that thinks torqueflite transmissions have vacuum modulators, but do nothing only if you like replacing U joints all the time, because if it's shifting that hard, especially at part throttle, you'll begin to think of driveline maintenance as...

All B body rearends, 62 and later, will need the spring perch center to center distance corrected to 43", but if that '62 Dart is a six cylinder and not a station wagon, it could have an 8 1/4" rearend. Look for casting #1828448 on the center section and an axle housing width of 53 1/4" flange...

Mopar was famous for using the same combi valve for everything and as a result virtually every stock disc brake A body would/will spin like a top with seriously aggressive brake application, even on dry pavement. Replacing the stock disc/drum setup rear wheel cylinders with smaller diameter...

Ignorance is bliss and sometimes you lead a charmed life. One of my first truck driving jobs years ago was in a 10 yard tamdem axle dump, and pulling a 6 yard pup to boot. It was an old and very used up 318 diesel Jimmy. Doing all of 25 miles an hour in the outside lane of bumper to bumper...

Use a drift punch of the correct diameter. Using a large enough hammer the first time will save damage the to the pin, punch, and your fingers. Make sure if the roll pin is stepped you push it out from the small diameter side. Taking the steering coupler apart because you can't get the roll...

If your four speed is indeed an A833, you need to establish the front bearing retainer bore and choose a small block bellhousing or scatter bell with that bore. As stated above, stock 360s and cast crank 340s use the dampner and flywheel (externally balanced) to balance them, so a flywheel...

Please don't take this as non constructive criticism, but I have been giving quite a lot thought of late to the problem of installing transmissions with too large a girth to fit in the stock tunnel and/or those that cause interference with the torsion bar crossmember. Because this crossmember...

You didn't state auto or stick, so here goes. Trucks in the early 60s were supplied with an adaptor to place the V8 727 behind the six, but it doesn't work the other way around. The average six cylinder 904 wouldn't cut it behind anything but the most mundane of V8s anyway, even if it did bolt...
