Any SB Mopar trans (from 1964 LA motor on to end of production) will bolt up to any SB Mopar engine Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

No, they got rid of the rear pump in 66 (the 727 that is) Last edited by Secret Chimp; 02/04/12 04:52 PM. 1967 Dodge Coronet Deluxe station wagon 1.03" T-bars, QA1 arms/rods, Cordoba/GM Metric/Volare brake & knuckle, XHDs, Hellwig rear sway, 318 Magnum w/ air gap, 727, 3.23s

"The only gray area is going to be the flex plate. The '67 318 engine would have only had a 727 behind it and there could have been two different flex plate options....a large converter bolt pattern and a small pattern. The 904 would have the small pattern. Worst scenario is you have to swap to the small V8 flex plate." I did confirm the car did have a 727 in it. I was under the impression that in 67 you could get a 904 behind a 318 LA engine (not poly) but, looks like it is not the case? Anyways, I figure I would ask.
