I am looking for the transmission portion of the motor. My dad lost it after trying to repair it. We had forgotten about it and now the car is sold. We just remembered it as we were going over checks to make sure that it would make it safely. I did find the rebuild kit in year one but my dad...

Here's one for you guys. Here's a pic that I edited to make small to see if it would actually post. Let me know and I can email the original 20+ pics.

Well I had a bunch of plans for it and it is kinda special but I had a long talk with my dad and we decided to try to find the "perfect car" that we both want to put money into. So, in other words, his old car is up forsale. It is a 74, no wrecks. The engine+transmission are numbers...

I am going to install a 3 speed 727. I don't want to do the work to convert it to manual. It would be nice to get the keisler kit but $$$. I guess I didn't realize how capable this 360 would be without stroking it, but since it needs a rebuild I would probably spend the same anyway because I...

Ok, so here is what I have found. The junk car thing is kinda cool. I need the hood, want the 8.75, could sell the 400 and turns out it has a console that I didn't know about. I'm probably going to buy this whole thing(junk yard won't part it out) and strip a bunch of the good parts. I...

Ok, it's definitely an 8.25 so that's kind of a bummer. I know where a satellite is with a roadrunner hood so maybe I'll just buy it and take the 8.75 out of it. It's sitting in junk yard and I could pick it up cheap. It also has a 400 engine in it so I may be able to recoup some of the money...

Ok that should really help. I actually get to bring it to my garage today. I'll look over the assembly and compare it to what you have said. And the picture of course. I'm almost sure it's a 8 3/4. But I'll find out today. Is the 8 3/4 significantly stronger or more durable that the 8 1/4...

Hey I got a little more reading done on my 408 stuff so I think I'm good there but I'm still stuck on my rear end situation. My Satellite has a factory 2.62 rear gear and it's just not going to fly for me. I want to install 3.55 and I think I would be happy with that. I also want to "lock"...

:poke:Hey everybody, I am new here and in my fisrt post I mentioned plans on a 408 stroker for the 74. I just found out that we're getting good bonuses at work(only promised 2 years ago) and it looks like the old lady will let me order some parts. I was just curious if anyone has built one or...

So I already made my first oops. I didn't see my first post go up so I did another. Now there are 2 oh well. The second has another pic.

Hey everybody, I'm new to the forum. I am an industrial mechanic in New Mexico. I am buying my dad's 74 Satellite from him in the couple weeks. We have worked on it for the last 10 years off and on--more off than on. He wants to start getting money for his retirement so I get the car. He...
