We're interested in using a low gear set 998/999 trans for the car. I'd also prefer a lockup converter. I thought that I read that in the mid 80s, ALL 904 transmissions had the lower 1st and 2nd gears. The engine is a mild 360 with a MP 340 cam and a Holley 600. A 727 wouldn't have the lower gears and honestly, the HD trans would be overkill anyway. Thanks, Greg

I'm not afraid of a little floor surgery, but right now the BIL is struggling to make forward progress on the car and it is is MY garage! I'm sure that you can see my motivation as well! Thanks again, Greg

I've got one at home in Colorado, sitting under a tree. The upper input shaft is for the lockup converter. R. 7182143-116_0302_trans11_z.jpg (75 downloads) Last edited by dogdays; 04/27/12 06:12 PM.
