Been many changes over the years with the 904 style trans.

i have a 68 and an 87 in my shop. The 68 has a nice forged band, the 87 has a flimsy stamped steel band with the ears spot welded on. Guess what broke off?

Ran a 360 and 904 in my 72 Dart for years, that specific combo was stock in a 79 Cordoba, the donor for this swap. Dunno how the 79 904 was built like, never had to take it apart. So, yes a 904 can live behind a 360.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
