Changed the oil pan on my 426W for a max wedge unit. Previous pan / crank seal was leak free. After the pan switch, there was a small leak. Leak then got larger to the point that it needed attention. I suspected the oil pan gasket. After a gasket change and a visual check, I noticed that where...

Drawing below shows my measured driveline angles. I went to the Spicer website and pluged in the numbers. Problem is, for me anyways, not sure how to input the correct data for the pinion. The Spicer drawing has me wondering which direction (which arrow to choose in Spicer calculator) is...

Just finished adjusting lifter preload. Engine has sat idle for 5 months. Before doing so, I cranked the engine over to get full oil pressure using only the starter. I adjusted to zero lash plus 1/2 turn on the adjusters. While adjusting, there were a couple of valves that I could not get that...

I'm in the process of checking / adjusting my hydraulic lifters with adjustable rocker arms. The rocker system I have are Harland Sharp units which are shaft mounted. I have the adjusting chart which is handy. The engine in question is a 426W. It has not run in 5 months, but has 3k miles on the...

I'm installing the above that has a .75 inch bore and a 1.4 inch stroke. What is the minimum amount of stroke of this cylinder in order to disengage the clutch? Would 1 inch be sufficient or do I need to use the complete 1.4 inch stroke of the cylinder. I'm using an internal hydraulic release...

I'll be having a new driveshaft made for my TKX conversion. The yoke on my diff is currently a 7260 small yoke. Engine is a 426W in the range of 450 hp / 450 torque. 64 Dodge is the car. Is there a good reason to upgrade to a 7290 or 1310 yoke or will the 7260 handle what I have. Thanks, Charlie.

Changing the pan and pickup on my 426W. Pan is off but the pickup seems very tight in its threads. I put a pipe wrench on the tube and applied lite pressure. It's not turning. Any advice? How tight are they supposed to be? Looks like there is some sort of sealer maybe on the threads. This engine...

Can someone with an early B Body and who has converted to a firewall located hydraulic clutch slave post a pic of the rod connection from the slave to the OEM clutch pedal. I'm interested where this connection is made on the clutch pedal assembly and where it goes through the firewall. Thanks...

I've been planning this conversion for 2 years now. I purchased the complete kit from SST Transmissions. For those who are interested, the complete kit was $5700 USD shipped. I've asked for a lot of advice and guidance on this forum which has helped me a lot, and it's probably not the last of it...

I have a 4 speed pedal assembly from a 65 (supposedly) B Body ready to install into my 64 Polara. The connecting pedals bracket seems upside down (bent down and not up) and interferes with the steering column support bracket. Is the column support bracket from an automatic different from a...

I got this 8/34 741 3rd member with a 3:55 gears in it from a friend. Been in a shed - on the dirt floor, for probably 30 years. Any chance I can use them? I glass beaded the rust off.

I'm considering to purchase a reproduction Max Wedge oil pan from 440 Source for my 426W in my 64 Polara - their part number 200-1154 replacing Chrysler's original part number 2402307. Has anyone used this pan. My questions would be - how is the fit when installed in the original non modified...

I have a couple of cone style LSD's currently in 741 cases with 3:55 gears. Is it possible to determine on the bench if these will need a rebuild or not. Without actually testing in the car, can I tell if they will function as designed by a visual bench inspection.

Just received my TKX package from SST for my 64 Polara. Currently my car has an automatic transmission. I'd be interested to see a photo or two where the clutch linkage rod passes through the firewall - either a factory setup or ideally, anyone else who has done this conversion. My install will...

I will be converting an existing 727b to a 5 spd TKX. Car currently has manual brakes. I have a manual brake 4 speed pedal setup from a 65 B. In regards to firewall mounting - a visual looks like that the pedal mounting stud spacing is different. It does not appear that there are existing...

As suggested on several threads on this site, I'll be using a Wilwood master cylinder to replace the one supplied by SST for the hydraulic clutch in a TKX conversion into a 64 B Body. My research leads me to the above Wilwood number (260-15098) - see link - Wilwood Disc Brakes Could someone who...

Last bit of homework before I order a complete TKX kit from SST. I like the idea of a shorter throw (.750) pedal but at the expense of a harder pedal. I know the "feel" of a harder pedal is hard to describe in words but I'm throwing this out to anyone who has experience with both the .625 and...

My water pump pulley is about 1/8 inch out of alignment from the crank pulley - should I worry about this? I could shim water pump pulley out, but fan to rad space is tight. Will 1/8 inch out of alignment cause issues?

In conversation with Shane at SST regarding their hydraulic components, I asked about their supplied master cylinder vs a Wildwood unit. He told me their supplied unit is identical in every way to the Wildwood except the name. Does anyone have any experience between the two? I see a lot of...

Trying to get all my ducks lined up for my TKX conversion (currently automatic) in my 64 Dodge. I will be dealing with SST for most, if not all the necessary components if applicable. I’ve done a lot of research on this conversion but, not ever having a stick car before (except my 73 Vega), I...
