Hello All, I got pulled aside about driving around on on my factory finned front brake drums. It's been years.. (it hasn't been driving until now anyways), but cheapest fix -> buy any old two new drums. Which I haven't done, and leads into do a brake conversion. The three options are the...

I did a full stock suspension rebuild.. including torsion bars.. So, I would absolutely suggest the torsion bar upgrade, but the stock suspension rebuild... ehh.. perhaps upgrade!

Haha. Wonder if this will work? I check the west half of the United States almost daily... I started with a trade offer that got zero hits.. I think they all sell in very specific and peculiar marketplaces from obscure and vague text ads?

First line of my quote from Brewers: "We only do the 833 conversions, no modern transmissions."

Appreciate it, I'm 7 miles from the ocean on the left..

I also read that its 20-30lbs lighter and can be outfitted with as strong components...

I appreciate the enthusiasm! however, this started as a drip and a front pump seal replacement. Dropped the tranny, replaced th efront pump seal.. Should we do anything else while it's out? "Nope", Installed the tranny, issued dropping into drive on the highway, advanced deducery with the...

It was delivered to them and picked up 60 miles away.. My master mechanic mentor's guys... who delivered 4...yes 4.... shift shaft seals before I got it right......

@WDO72 Couple hundred bucks for just the 904? I'm just looking for a holdover until I pull the 318/904 out of mine and have it sitting in my garage. I have 1st and 2nd and some of reverse, but I could not commute while we swap the drive train on my wrangler YJ starting this weekend. Gonna go to...

You can find cars with a 318 in it in a pick n pull?

I have a 1971 barracuda 318/a904-la, and the trans is $1600 to rebuild before even a shift kit.. What vehicle can I find at pick n pull, grab the tranny and slap it right in and go?

The one in my pic, 71 barracuda 318/904 for now, eventually a manual conoversion with overdrive, and researching engines..

Does anyone know anyone near Silicon Valley (San Francisco South Bay; or greater area) who is good with all this welding/fab? This will be the basis for drivetrain upgrade and manual conversion. Not sure what's gonna end up up front. But I want it manual. What are my options for a manual...

Love that paint job!! What's she look like now?

Ok, delusions of grandeur are over. I have a 71 Barracuda 318/a904la (failing) with a 7 1/4 rear end I have named peanut. If I wanted a new engine that gets mileage and can still smoke em when desired, trans that has overdrive (want manual but yes difficult...), can make a weekend driver...

Hey guys, I apologize for hijacking just a smidge, but could I buy a T/A Fast Ratio power steering and put it in a 71 Barracuda? I had my steering box rebuilt and it's just awful. Mine's a PS car. Thanks, Erik.

Hey all, I replaced the shift shaft seal on my A904-LA, and it's leaking like crazy. My buddy has an e-body (I believe 23 spline) pistol grip four speed. My car was made column transmission because of the bench seat, and then the first owner had A/C installed at the dealership. I've heard of...

I just did this and I chose the Swayaway 1.08 and this is an original 318. I was going to go with the 1.20 just to back of a smidge from the 1.24 maximum offered. Then they kept urging me down based on me hot rodding on a windy mountain pass and not wanting to skid over bumps in the road. I went...

This seems too good to be true. Is this a quality kit? I see they have one for every engine. A tiny portion of the price at the expense of having a blower & scoop out the hood..

Not that I'd need much more power than my buddies 440+6 naturally aspirated, but next on the checklist for building would be a supercharger. As long as it can peel out, beat most other cars on the road, and still corner in turns. I don't even have torque boxes or frame stiffening/subframe...
