Technical terms! metric or SAE? :lol:

There's a set of 452's listed on here right now, under mechanical parts.

That is a fact! took me three shots before I got the P/S lined up right.

Are they full roller rockers? Needle bearings for the rocker shaft?

When I set mine up I was told you want 1/8" (that's with the converter pressed fully into the trans), which is what I had. The issue you want to avoid is pulling the converter so far out (to mate to the flex plate) that you don't have good engagement with the pump. I think you'll be OK, but...

Check this site, you can find (downloadable) service and parts manuals for mopars. It's where I got mine for my 66 coronet. https://mymopar.com/

I've heard of "exploded view" in service and parts manuals, but right there at the track?! DANG!! :rofl:

Glad you asked the question, I had no idea that would happen and I'm in the process of putting a car together that I don't to break the first time at the track. :thumbsup:

Thanks again for all the info, I was totally in the dark on this system and it's effect on shifting/trans functioning. I'm just now getting ready to set up the cable for the throttle pressure, and this last nugget is just what I needed. :thumbsup:

Whats your break in process? Last motor I had to break in was a 350 for the (1989) 1-ton chevy van (family hauler), think I ran it at 2000 RPM for 20 min and that was it. Never did this for a motor with this much money in it (relative term), one set up for this level of performance (another...

Right on, I'm with you on all the specs. My question came from the fear of pulling the threads out of a cast aluminum intake. But, looking at the record of lifts/installs you have (including an elephant and trans) with plates, I have to figure as long as the thread engagement isn't sloppy and...

What if the intake is aluminum? I have an aluminum intake on my 400, so I went head to head. Just curious if anyone lifts with a plate on an aluminum intake?

Thanks to everyone for all the great info! Much appreciated :thumbsup:

I think once I have the car up and running, and everything else is dialed in a manual VB will be the next upgrade.

I couldn't agree with you any more. I asked the question just because I remembered someone said something bad about not having the kick down hooked up/and or properly adjusted. Sooo! glad I asked, I would have done a test drive thinking it was no big deal and could be done later.

Holy crap! am I glad I asked the question. :thumbsup:

The trans was prep'd (not by me) for racing (good parts) but it is still set up to function as it came from the factory. So, I'm thinking I'll get the kit with throttle and kick down cables.

Question for the trans pros: Do I need to have the kick-down connected and adjusted for a car that will only run 1/4-1/8 mile at a time (no street duty)? I saw a post a while back that said a 727 can be destroyed if it's run without the kick-down set up right, I don't remember what the OP was...

Just wondering, does anyone use "Belt Dressing" any more?

You might try FTI converters, their based in Florida. I got great service and pricing is good for the product they make.
