As a lot of you know, I put a 408 stroker and a 200-4R overdrive in my Dart about 4 years ago. Late last year and all this year I've had intermittent leaking problems. It appeared to be pushing out the vent, usually on hot days. I called the builder, Art Carr (who, by the way, is an f-ing idiot)...

Last year I changed the filter and pan gasket in the 200 4R because it had been two and a half years and the pan gasket had a minor leak. I removed the top hat filter seal and installed a new one, then installed the filter. I had some leakage and had to retorque the damn nuts a few times, then...

I know there has been posts of this before, but I never see the actual numbers. I have had a high speed vibration for years. I have had the driveshaft balanced many times. Checked all the usual suspects. I started to wonder about my pinion angle. On the hoist it looks good, but I never checked...

Not only have I heard of this, but I am experiencing it. I had a local shop build it. Proven Force, or as they used to be called, Clutch and U-Joint have made shafts for me in the past. I have been fighting a vibration since I put the motor and tranny in a year and a half ago. I took the...

For those of you who didn't follow my build post, I put a GM 200R4 tranny in my Dart Sport. I have a Dana 60 with 4.10 gears. With my old 904 I was at 3200 rpm at 55 mph and 4000 rpm at 70. I just got my new dash installed and the speedometer wired and calibrated. It seemed like a perfect time...

Well, I ordered the 200R4 and all the accompanying pieces from Art Carr on December 27th. My credit card was charged the same day. I still have no transmission. I called a week ago Friday and asked what was going on. He said he had been waiting for the bell housing adapter and that all pieces...

I know there are going to be some that say I am defiling a perfectly good Mopar, but I have all the information and the cost, and tomorrow I am ordering a 200R4 from Art Carr to go in my Dart. The bell housing adapter, built 200R4, and 9" 3000-4000 rpm stall is just over $2500. There are a bunch...

We talked about this a bit before, but now I have more info. My current motor, a 318 has a 904 behind it with an internally balanced 2800 stall converter. The motor going in is a 408. There is no flexplate on this motor. I need to buy one obviously, but which one? I called the builders of the...

Some of you followed my older thread about me needing an overdrive to bring my rpm range down in the final gear. I have a 318 moderately built and a Dana 60 with 4.10. What it all boils down to is 3200 rpm at 55 mph and 4000 rpm at 70 mph. That's bad enough on a 318, but I have a 408 Stroker on...

I have a 318 in my Dart right now with a 2400 - 2800 stall. I can never remember. I am putting in a 408 stroker soon and got into it with my brother. I was going to buy a new converter in the 3800 to 4000 stall range. He says I won't be able to drive it on the street and should stay with my...

I was looking into a Keisler 5 speed manual conversion kit. I wanted the extra high end gear at .67 so I can actually drive on the highway and I always liked driving a stick. After two weeks I finally got their estimate. Transmission - 5 speed $3399 Conversion parts - $2387 Total -...

Okay, I run a 73 Dart Sport. 318 Eddy RPM air gap Eddy 1406 600 cfm carb Comp Cam XE268H Hooker competition headers with 2 1/2" exhaust Stock (as far as I know) 904 column shift 2800 stall Dana 60 w/ 4.10 gears Mono leaf and Caltracs As expected, with the new Dana the rpm's are...

I have the Dart at my friends shop. Got the Dana 60 installed along with the mono leafs and caltracs. Pre checked the wheels for bolt pattern, but never suspected the calipers would hit the chrome reversed rims I have. They do. Got the custom brake lines run, just need to flare the left side and...

Okay, I have found several piece of crap vehicles that have 8.75 rears in them and am considering buying one. Most are old vans. I understand the spring perches need to move and the tubes will have to be cut. Where do I find specs, and what do I have to do about the axles? I hate to sound...

I am new to the forum, and also new to Mopars. I just got a '73 Dart Sport. It has an 8.25 rear end with 2.76 gear and no sure grip. I can get a Dana sure grip set with 3.55 gears pretty reasonably. My brother says I am an idiot and to go with an 8.75 for strength, durability, gear options, and...
