I am looking at doing a budget A body in the next year or so. I wouldn't maybe call it a G machine, but i will install 17's etc. The Explorer rear looks good. My only concern is the offset driveshaft. It should be fine, but it isn't so far to one side that it hits or rubs is it...

Hello, I am preparing to rebuild a 727 next weekend. What are the typical tools needed to rebuild a 727 at home? I have a valve spring compressor, C-clamps, feeler guages and snap ring pliers. Any thing else needed? Thanks, ROB

I am getting pretty close it looks like to starting on my car.....finally! I have a 76 440 with a matching transmission. When I buy a convertor I can just buy an off the shelf version, not one requiring a special flexplate, correct? I may do a 318 thing, still deciding. Can I...

What is the RPM drop approximately when a 904 locks up? I'm chewing on some ideas for a real mild street car. Thanks, ROB

I am looking at buying a flexplate that is for a 78-92 360. I have a 74 360. My Mopar Performance book says that all flexplates are basically interchangeable. But, if I use that flexplate I will need to get a 360 balanced (externally) convertor, correct? If I want maximum...

I have an 85 Dippy 904 with a lock-up transmission. It is my understanding that this tranny has the low gear set-up. What other years and vehicles have the low gear set? I have two 79 V8 transmissions which ratio are those? Thank you, ROB

Hello All, I have a 74 360 out of a truck. It has no torque convertor/flexplate etc. I understand there is a difference in balance etc. compared to other small-block engines. I would like to be able to run any convertor from most any small block. Isn't there a universal...

I have a quick question. I was told by a friend who is an old time Mopar meachanic that V8 cars with AC have a higher stall than stock. He said that an aftermarket stall isn't needed for a mild build up. Is this so? And if it is, what is it rated at for RPM-the stall? Thank you, ROB

I have a 904 out of an 85 318 car that has the lock-up transmission in it. I have a couple of questions about it. 1. How much HP is it good for in stock form? 2. I have hear MP sells a higher stall TQ, is this correct? And what stall? 3. Approximate Mileage gain of lock up vs...

My Duster has about 185K on it. I bought it from the origional owner so he knows the history. He says that he rebuilt the engine, a 318, which he appears to have done. He did not rebuild the transmission though. He tightened the bands he said. It shifts fairly quickly and firmly into 2nd...

I just got back from the parts store with a speedo cable. I pull the old one and compare the ends. The transmission end has larger threads on my old cable than the new end on the new cable. Otherwise everything is the same. The car is a 904 -318 - 7 1/4" in a 1973 Duster. Does anyone...

Hello, My name is Rob and I teach autoshop at a small school. We have been wanting to build an A body for quite awhile now. So far I have collected most of the pieces, except for the rear end. Cost is a factor, because the car is my own. Here's what I do have. I have an F body 8...
