I'd be interested in seeing those sources. Are they factory sources or aftermarket? Can you post them?




These are factory/dealer...here ya go...

What's the difference between the standard 4-speed transmission and the Heavy Duty 4-speed transmission? And is the "Hemi" 4-speed the same as the Heavy Duty 4-speed??

Seems the A33 and A34 option is keyed off of the HD 4-speed and the axle ratio and the 4.10 gets power disc brakes.

Must be a mistake in the listing because there is no standard axle listed for the 440 with manual trans. Only optional rears.

It was always my understanding that with respect to the GTX, RT, & 440/426 Charger, there was no standard axle when ordering a 4 speed...You had a choice of the two axle packages, and that was it.

But the 440/426 4-speed "required" a Dana, didn't it? What if you did't want a 3.54/3.55 or 4.10 ratio could you get a Dana with a 3.23 or other ratio?

You had to get an automatic.

The 055 radiator now cleaned and painted, with the 305 8 (October 31, 1968) date code. The GTX has a C16/December 16, 1968 Scheduled Production Date so it is close enough to be the original and I still believe it is the original radiator to the car.



Why didn't you keep the original California air cleaner on the car? Are you installing chrome exhaust tips?

Don't want to go OT but I like the sound of the unsilenced air cleaner cover and the exhaust tips and even thinking about putting an "air grabber" system on it. Had the dual snorkel on it.....another thing is that darn big dual snorkel air filter cover his HEAVY too and I'm sure it doesn't flow enough air to feed the Holley 770 under the unsilenced cover on there now took the stock road wheels off and going to redo them, put a set of G-70 red lines on them and go do a pure stock event or two......do I have to put the dual snorkel cover back on for that

Oh this is the GTX with the 055 radiator, 4-speed, 3.54 Dana to keep this OT

Day Two now with the tips

So I guess we can conclude from this that the 26" radiator used in axle packages is not always the max cooling unit. I also looked in Galen's parts book and, sure enough, the 055 was used in 440 powered 4-speed b-bodys "less max cooling". The only other application was for a/c cars. I guess max cooling and axle packages don't go hand-in-hand in this instance. Still, one has to wonder why...... life is a mystery....

It all makes perfect sense to me except if the 8 3/4 cars with 3.55's got the 054....that's odd. I suppose the rationalization is that 3.55 is an optional axle package gear on the 383 cars (standard is 3.23) where the 3.54 is the "standard" gear with the 440-4spd.... Doesn't make any sense from an engineering perspective, but it does have some twisted logic from a sales perspective.
