    Checking / Adjusting Valve Lash

    I’m going to check/adjust the valve lash on my slightly built poly after a couple thousand miles. The build included solid lifters. It’s only been 45-years since doing this on a GTO, so quite rusty. I’ve been researching the drill and came across a vid from Summit that says you only need to...

    Overdrive install possible on a '63 727?

    Question about 727 overdrive installation possibility on a ’63 PB trans. Poly 318 with some performance modifications. I’m not any expert on tranny’s. My trans was upgraded to a modern TQ and spline some 5-years ago. My first mistake was taking out the 3:23’s installing 3:55’s. Thinking of going...

    '05 Dakota making ugly noise

    Thought I would post about strange noises from my ’05 Dakota in case anyone has encountered this. Dakota forum hasn’t been fruitful as has my shop looking it over. After returning from a 400 mile round trip, the noise has gotten much worse, ugly sounding. Started with a subtle ticking/rattling...

    1965 Torque-flite transmission - Decisions?

    Tossing out a question as I’m cleaning and rearranging my garage. I bought a ’65 mopar 727 transmission in ’96 with some other parts for my ’63, I installed from a ’65 Coronet (entire rear). Was informed this trans would be nice to have as a spare or upgrade of the ’63 torqueflite. This was the...

    Engine Performance Mysteries?

    I thought I’d ask about what I think is some untapped or missing giddy-up with my poly after an extensive and expensive overhaul. My car is a ’63 Fury with the PB 727. Among the mods as I can recall offhand: Eddy 4bbl, solid lifters, cam (262 deg, lift .450), bored .60 over, headers, 3”...

    Axle Venting

    What might anyone know about axle or differential 'vents'? I have seen them in diagrams. Checking my housing after installing my 2nd set of green bearings that gave me 1500 miles, I don't see one, at least as I've seen on diagrams. I have a '65 Coronet housing in my '63 Plymouth, 742 case...

    Older 727 Shift Conversion

    I posted about this sometime ago and thought I'd toss out another in case there's more to be learned. I have a '63 727 button shift and these earlier year TF trans didn't have downshifting capability unless flooring the pedal that came out in later TF's. There are kits available to make a...

    Early 727 Trans Modifications

    I've posted about this topic before and have received great advice. One of the issues aside from seeking to obtain shift points at higher rpm was the earlier TF's don't downshift unless having pedal floored. After reading some old discussion on another site about the earlier 727, it's...

    Torqueflite Early B Tranny Experts?

    I posted some weeks back about my supposedly redone '63 PB trans with the motor and believe that's pretty much BS and hard to prove unless tearing it down. It's worse than when I took it in. I got some great replies to the problems I posted about lousy shift points and performance having to do...

    727 Shift Points

    After a rebuild on my 63 Fury w/ 318 build up and tranny service and new convertor the shift points are quick. Quicker than it was before especially 1 to 2 and shop says not much to do with it. The kick-down rod is set far as it will go. Problem is the 2-3 shift is real quick and slight thud...

    Black Slime Radiator

    Engine was just completely redone and tricked up a bit nothing too radical. A huge price tag for the work. I drove it from the shop back home about 5 or 6 miles and noticed the motor was running hotter than I recall it used to trusting the gauge. I thought maybe a new sending unit could be a...

    Poly 318 Rebuild Project

    I live in the Milwaukee WI area, I'm looking to have my motor rebuilt, machined, pistons, heads, valves, etc. mild upgrading in area of 350-360hp. My old reliable sources for this work have retired! If anyone has used or knows of good-dependable shops in my area please let me know. Thanks...

    318 Poly Motor Upgrade

    Realizing this is a big question, please pardon me. I'm looking to rebuild my solid 318 in my '63 Fury over the winter to add some horses. I'm not thinking wild but in the area of 350-375 HP. I've put this off for years as my motor has remained real solid and rather peppy since I added duals...

    Pushbutton trans leakage

    I had to adjust the pushbuttons on the 727 on my '63 Fury and noted a little leakage around the area so pulled out the adjuster to find a flattened and threaded O ring. I thought I had just the right size O ring to replace it. I did the adjustment getting the buttons to work fine. Now I have a...

    Headers or port/polish manifolds 63 poly motor

    I saw an old post of a member having somehow reconfigured the right exhaust manifold to get rid of the mid point exhaust connection. It matches the rear out setup for the left. Seems like a fantastic redesign and trying to get in contact with him if he has any left. Anyway I had been...
