741 Chunk

[Patch]

Hi all....I've never driven my 65 Dart with an 8 3/4 yet, but I do have a 741 chunk (non SG) Is it worth holding onto? From what I have seen over the years, it doesn't seem that they are that wanted. I'll be putting in a SB 408 with a 4 speed and going with a converted and narrowed truck D60 (overkill I know, but don't ever want to mess with it again) Should I put it out to pasture?

There worth about $100 plus shipping to whoever needs one! 65'

They are still a good center chunk.

I like the 2.94 gear ratios and if you have a set of 2.94 ring and pinion gears you need to have the 741 center chunk to put them into.

So yeah. don't send it out for scrap.

I have 741s in three of my cars, they are great units.

Dr. Diff also has a great comparison article at Pinion Comparison - Quality Body Shop Drivetrain

Well worth reading to those that may think the 741 is inferior.

^ What Alaskan TA said. You won't hurt it till you get slicks and a bunch of power.

My 70 Duster came factory with a 741 carrier and 3.91's and its lived this long. My cars life might have been a rough one since there are signs it had a roll cage in it at some point.

I run a 741 and have had no problems with it 520 hp 560 torque with cheater slicks . the only 741 i've seen blow up was on a 66 charger with a 440 six pac 4speed car with a guy that did burn outs getting in and out of his driveway guy tortured that rear end . 741 is not as weak as people say
