I’m have a transmission question. I am at a crossroads as to the drivetrain in my car.
It is a ‘68 Charger with a moderately built 340, about 350hp. When the engine was installed several years ago, I had the original 904 rebuilt by a local shop. The tranny was slipping badly under a load immediately so I drove the car back to that shop. They supposedly installed a shift kit which stopped the slipping, but soon after the car starting shifting weird. 1 to 2 second gear shifts almost back to back. The engine makes a lot of power but it’s not getting to the rear wheels.
Fast forward to now. I want to replace the small block transmission and upgrade to a 727 or.... go to a big block. I understand the small and big transmissions are different so I don’t want to throw away money.
If I go with just a SB transmission what do you guys suggest. I see Mancini Racing has several.
