I'm heading towards a drivetrian update in my 72 Road Runner. 500hp small block, A518 transmission and a new driveshaft. My current rear is a 9.25 with 7260 u joint. I was planning to just do 1350 u-joints across the board and find a conversion u-joint from 1350 to 7260 for the stock pinion for...

A few years ago I was collecting parts for a big block swap. I got at crusty old 727 and bought a rebuild kit for it back 6-7 years ago. Does anyone know if those have a shelf life?

I have been considering cams for my upcoming build. I am likely to go with a flat tappet due to the cost of a roller. I was wondering how reliable flat tappet lobes that were designed for the .904 Mopar lifters are and if people have experience with them? I dont see a lot of people suggesting...

Anyone have a budget ultrasonic thickness gauge they like? I would like to do some home porting on some heads and have a few blocks I would like to look at bore shift. Amazon seems to have some in the $100 range but its hard to trust stuff on there.

I have a B-Body 9.25 rear end in my 72 SSP with a 3.23 gear. Does anyone know if a ring and pinion out of a late model ram (2003- up) will swap in to the earlier rear? There are plenty of Rams in the junkyard and I wouldn't mind switching to a 3.73 or 3.93 for $20 if I update to a a518 trans.

I was doing some work on my carb and realized my kickdown linkage did not let my carb go to WOT so I reset adjusted the linkage and it seems to have unmasked an issue. Now my 904 is flaring up under light throttle when shifting from 2-3. Additional throttle helps the shift feel. I just tried...

I thought some might find this interesting or for reference: this is a picture from my borescope looking from the plenum of a Performer 318-360 into stock 318 intake port.

Has anyone run a modern metal body positive seals on a stock guide? I was looking at these from Comp to try to control oil better on my dad's 360. The heads are not machined for smaller pc seals and he is currently using stock umbrella seals. I think 3/8 × 0.500 would be the right diameters for...

I am considering a 360 magnum block as the base for my next engine build simply for the availability in junk yards and roller lifter provisions. I dislike the valve train Chrysler switched to for the magnums and am not interested in running inferior stud rockers. Ideally I would get an early...

I am having a hard time getting my 318 to run right and pulled the pcv valve off the carb to eliminate as many vacuum leaks as possible. When running without the valve, I am seeing a decent amount of blow-by puffing out of the breather tube. I don't see any signs of oil consumption on the plugs...

I would like to swap my A904 out for a A518. I would like to use the kickdown and shift linkages off the 904. Will that work? This is a console shifter and a one piece kickdown link.

I went to pull my Satellite out of the garage and it would not move. No feeling of engaging in reverse or drive. Since it's in the garage I don't want run it long enough to check the trans fluid warm but when I checked it cold the fluid was down below the add line about 1/4". Would that level of...

BACKGROUND: on my 318 I just swapped on a new carb trying to chase my rich running condition and decided to check the oil level. It was low by a quart which is odd since I have not run this engine long, just to try to get the carb tuned and up and down the street once. I pulled the left valve...

Apparently I guessed wrong and the A518 dust cover does not fit the A904... I cannot find a dust cover for the 904 anywhere or the a500 (which I assume is the same?) Does anyone have the part number for that? Good vendor for it? Junkyard cover from a a500? Otherwise I'm just going to cut a piece...

Title says it all. My dad regasketed his 318 for me to borrow for my car and decided to get a set of new lifters while he was in there. They are hydurlic flat tapets. The cam is something hotter than stock but not extreme. He doesnt remember what, but likely close to a stock 340 cam. Do I need...

I need a 32 tooth speedo gear due to switching ring gears and tire size. The 904 I have came with a 27 tooth gear with a long shaft. I also have an A518 that came with 32 tooth gear, but it is the short shaft type for the electric speed sensor. I would like to just swap the 32 gear onto the long...

I have a 9.25 out of an unknown late 70's bbody for my 72 SSP. Its a 3.23 with limited slip and 11" drumbs so its way better than the 8.25 I had. After hearing about c-clip failures from other c-clip axles, I would like some insurance and replace the ones in my rear end with new ones that I...

I was wondering if a 545RFE 2wd can fit without modifying the torsion bar cross member? Can you get away with just trimming some of the ribs off of the tail housing? I have a 72 SSP if anyone has done this with a similar car (Pictures would be appreciated)

Is there a difference between the 727 and 904 trans fluid cooler lines? Does anyone have a good reverence for the difference between the two transmissions? I'm planning to swap in a big block when I have some more time and money and I would like to make sure I have all the lines and linkages...

I bought a 400 for my 72SSP . The cam is wiped and the crank is showing some gulling so it will need machined and I will be throwing the 318 back in once the body resto is done. Since I need to rebuild my 400, would the extra cost for the 451 (would have to buy the RB crank) be worth the time...
