The guy I baught the car from told me that the drive train was all original. It currently has a 741 with 3.91 sure grip, but looks like the bolts that hold the case have been taken off at some point. Does anyone else have a similar car, if so what case center section does your car have?? Any input would be much appreciated! Last edited by 71 SHAKR; 05/30/10 10:03 PM.

I was thinking that the car should have a 489 case with the 7290 yoke as well, but this document I found shows that it could have a 741 or 489 according to the dates the rear ends were produced???? I'm still interested in what rear end case numbers that are original to their car if they own a 71 340 Cuda with the A31 package??? http://bionicdodge.com/Download/Mopar_8_3_4_Rear_End_Guide.PDF

I THINK the only A-bodies originally equipped with 489 castings are '69 big block versions. All performance E-bodies came with 489 castings. Contact info
