Im thinking about puting a 904 in my 69 CUDA project??

Whats you guys imput on these


BUILD:::
69 Cuda Street/Strip, Dana 60 456 gears (315 Dragradials) Ladder Bar and coil overs, 10 Point CM Cage, Magunm Force Front End, the Motor is a X block with W2 heads, made just over 650hp on motor, and Set up for a 300 shot of gas, the car is about 2750lbs

anyone switch from a 727 to a 904 and pickup ET? i may want to do this in the future with my hemi

Through extensive testing in the mid-'70's, Chrysler found that switch from a 727 to a 904 with identically prepared transmissions and converters reduced ET about .15. I'm pretty sure this was on small block cars. A big block and Hemi may not show so much improvement because their extra torque naturally overcomes the extra rotating weight easier in a 727.

Lots of Stock and SS big block and Hemi cars use 904 internals expensively adapted to a 727, but they are often aftermarket internals that are stronger. They are also serviced more than average. A shortcut would be a JW Ultra Bell. But the expense and maintenance/lifespan may not justify the results.

Sorry but for what it cost to build a GOOD 904, I would buy a Ultra bell and either put a glide or TH400 behind it. I don't see one advantage to running the Chrysler trans if you are starting from scratch.

see, it can be done.

If the glide isn't as quick, the convertor is WRONG. I'd be willing to bet a COMP car with a 904 case has ZERO factory parts in it, and class requires it to be a Chrysler case.

Personally I'd throw a stick in the car, but you can be sure THAT would not have one single Chrysler part in it either.

At 950 total H/P you are going to have to use aftermarket internals no matter what trans you use. Using a 300 shot of spray your torque is going to be through the roof, so if you plan on using the pill on every pass a 'Glide or one of the 2 speed 400's may work better for you - you won't need the torque multiplication of a 904's 1ST gear.
