    Should I swap gears?

    So I am building a 408 stroker dart and the differential I got for my 8.75 rear has 4.56 gears in it. I have no desire to run them long term as this is mostly a street car. I have already bought 3.73 gears but part of me is tempted to keep the 4.56 gears infor a little while just to toy around...

    Who do you use for custom torque converter?

    I gave most this to dynamic upfront and what I forgot they asked for and then some. They are running a special right now so after shipping it was still $200 less than a local company I was looking at.

    Who do you use for custom torque converter?

    Just called dynamic. Price was right so I ordered one. Seemed great to work with. Conerter will flash at 3800 but drive like a 3200. Price seemed very reasonable to me.

    Need opinion 904 or 727

    So when I was planning my build around my stock 340 I let you guys convince me I to rebuild my 904 instead of the 727 I have to help get the extra hp out of the car. Well the build has changed as I just got a great deal on a 408 stroker so my question is do I stick with the 904 rebuild or do I...

    8.8 swap

    Thank you. That is the exact info I was looking for. I want to run 255 tires and 8" rim. Just not sure how large a rim I want. Part of me likes the low profile look and part of me likes the 15" rim with lots of tire look. Also did you roll your lip?

    8.8 swap

    So quick question for those that have made this swap. If I put the 1/2" spring relocators on what size tires can I fit and what backspacing for a 72 swinger. I am going to a swap meet in 2 weeks and if I run into a deal on the wheels I want I would like to know they will fit right.

    8.8 swap

    Well I just bought one from a local salvage yard for $150. I already have an A body 8.75 but the 489 housing has 456 gears and I really like the idea of 4 wheel disc brakes and the 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern. They had 3 explores there and all 3 were different tags. One was 3 73, one was 4 10, and...

    Why should I not go to an 8.8 rear?

    So here is my dilemma. I have an A body 8.75 rear and 489 sure grip that I bought for my dart build. Come to find out the pumpkin has 4.56 gears. Now I have read the entire thread about the swap out to 8.8 off an exploder. I like this idea because it gives me the BBP and disc brakes along with...

    Changing gears questions

    Thank you all for all the help. You all have me really reconsidering the 727. The 727 was suposibly rebuilt with a "small" stall but I have no idea what shape the 727 is actually in and was gonna have someone open it up and look it over. Now I am thinking sell the 727 and just use the 904.
