hi can a later 904 trans from 1972 mount to a early motor 1966 slant six motor trying to figure out how this would work with the differance in the crank shaft thanks
As far as I'm aware, a custom converter with the small nose, swap to a later crankshaft or possibly have your crank pocket turned to the larger size. I think I would opt for the custom converter.
ya i am going to give it a shot thanks for the reply!!Possibly, a lathe would probably be better if it doesn't get too thin.
can i grind down the torque converter snout so it can fit?

I do NOT see this happenin'
Early transmissions had a different input spline if I am thinking correctly. I think there is enough meat on the pilot to turn it down to the size you need on a LATHE. "Grinding" by hand will only lead to more problems. If you are tranny savvy you can also swap out the drum with the input shaft and use your early converter.
i didnt really make my self clear sorry about that but what i was asking is i have a transmission from a 68 dart i know 1968 was when the changed the diameter size on the back cranks but if the 68 dart had came out in 67 as the new year model would it have a 67 model transmission with the small diameter snout on it? Or would it have been changed already? Thanks For The Reply really helpfulYes, a 68 transmission would work fine with a later motor. In fact the shifter and lockdown linkage should bolt up as well.
