Guys, I tried... I tried to read all the archives for hints on this but after the third page my mind went numb LOL.
Once my engine comes back I'm going to tear into the trans. It's the car in my signature, down there. *points* It's a 904, the rearend is a 7&1/4" with unknown ratio, I'm going to guess 2.76. What I'd like to do is knock down the axle ratio and either add a lockup converter circuit or OD to the mix. Ive seen scary posts about adaptor plates and starter relocation problems and OD units with scary price tags if I want to go the latter route so I'm leaning more to the Volare 904 with lockup idea. I just want to get more versatile gearing out of this car without altering its appearance. So this means no, the 7&1/4" stays, maybe with a new pumpkin, and 904 trans only, no chopping driveshafts or sledgehammers to the crossmembers please. Remember, I'm fussy enough to spend gobs of money on unnecessary reinforcements on my "marine" engine so I'm not afraid of HD parts as long as I can hide them.
So, any easy answers guys? Anything out there that will bolt up, or fit into my existing case? What do I look for, what years, body styles, for donor parts? I gather 3.23s are more likely to be found in mid 60s cars with 3 on the tree, right? Or is it 3.32? And so on. Thanks!
