I believe my Road Runner needs a transmission. 1973 400 with 727 What junkyard options do I have? Are there any later model trucks that I can look for a bolt in transmission?

Okay, okay. Yes, this is a Mopar Forum, but I am helping a friend with his 66 Mustang and I figured the Mopar Community is a hospitable group and could help me out. My Road Runner is fine! I'm helping my friend get his 66 Mustang running again. It has a 69 302w, no AC/PS/PB with a 2bbl and an...

A little bit of an update... I helped move the car the car today, and it acted like the emergency brake was on while moving (it wasn't). The car would rev high and practically move nowhere in foward and reverse, and there were no odd sounding noises coming from the trans. The car was moved in...

When I changed the fluid, the trans had no known issue. I changed the fluid because it lost fluid when I changed the neutral safety switch. I will check the fluid soon, it should have 4.5 quarts in it now. I put in four quarts as per the repair manual, and the shop put in a pint after the...

1973 RR, 400/904(727?) Long story short, car had an intermettent starting issue I couldnt fix, and it was electrical. My dad had it towed to a shop, they change the starter (another story for another day, but my starter tested fine before...). He gets a call saying the trans is done...

Uh oh... 1974 had manual crank windows...

Really though, pull the motor, buy a new hood, buy a painless wiring harness, and you can drop a bigblock back in. That car is extremely saveable.

Let me educate you on a subject. It was called the 1980's. High school kids all across this country murdered 1970 Road Runners by driving the crap out of them and generally not caring about cars. Flipping them, racing them, off roading them, and killing them in highschool parking lots...

I am no expert but I have not seen a Road Runner built in Canada. Not to say it wont happen, but I have seen only Satellites come out of Canada. I never understood why MaMopar had multiple plants for the same car. BTW- A 1974 RR GTX 440 is a rare car in itself, IIRC very few GTX's were built in...

MSD ignition can never hurt. It certainly wont boost you 50 ft/lbs, but my stock '73 400 benefited immensely from an Edelbrock manifold, Holley (iirc) 750, and MSD ignition.

Nss?

Nice GTX. The black looks nice, but Sassy grass is one of my favorite Mopar colors (petty blue, sassygrass, hemi orange, sublime). I would be torn as to which color to paint it, too. Pics of the redonkulously '70s interior?

The previous owner of my car installed a Go-Wing without the right brackets... my decklid is slightly bent. Not noticible, but still.

71-2 factory sunroofs had a power (iirc) sliding metal sunroof and 73-74 had metal manual crank sliding sunroofs. If its glass, its aftermarket.

You should go there and do burnouts in the grass until she appreciates your fine Road Runner burning out in her driveway. I would be honored if your car were to burn up my concrete.

Step 1: Remove screws on rearview mirror base. Step 2: Install some high performance emory paper on the part where the ball contacts metal. Step 3: Profit.

Morris county. You?

A previous owner of my '73 found another solution that you didn't list. Bondo :icon_sad:

Lift the car, and shake the hell out of the wheels. Side to side, front and back, everything. Could be tie rods, ball joints, etc. Driving down a hill felt like my truck was going to fall apart when my F150 needed tie rod ends. If you crawl back and mess with the driveshaft you can probably...

I am going to have to dissagree. No "kid" with a decent job for a kid can afford a brand new 400+ hp RWD muscle car. If I were a kid straight out of highschool in 1970, I could go to my local dealership and order any kind of musclecar, bare bones or high optioned. Nowadays a 411 HP Mustang GT...
