I'm putting together a footbrake 2900lbs Dart w/ 500-550 hp stroker 360 , 4.10 , ladder bar and 10 slicks . I can't sort out all the confusion as to what tranny to use the newer 904 or the 727. With this setup can I successfully use a 7290 joint or will it brake?
904 or 727 and 7290 or 1350 what'sa good set up

The 904 will work, but it will need to be properly built to last.
It definately has less parasitic loss and rotating weight than a 727.

Being you are only running a 4.10 gear I would build a 904 with a later 2.74 gear set. It will leave better than a 2.45 gear 904 or 727. The 7290 joints will be fine for a foot brake car. I am using a 7260/7290 adapter joint in the back of my '65 Valiant and it runs low 11's. I have the non-greaseable joints in my car because they are stronger being they are solid. I purchased them from CarQuest and were listed as HD joint, they also have urethane seals instead of rubber ones.
