i've gotten to the point where i'm totally unhappy with my drivetrain. in the coming weeks i'm going to be swapping out my motor and transmission, i'll document the tranny and motor rebuilds here as best i can. with all the tranny problems people see here that are mainly wear related, it'll be nice to show everyone just how simple it is to pull a chrysler transmission apart for a simple rebuild.
right now i've got this in my powertrain.
junkyard 44re that's slipping in 1 and 2 just like the one i replaced(rebuilding with aps parts)
318 with some bolt ons, those being;
hughes engines f1 intake manifold
iron ram 1.96 heads
harland sharp 1.7:1 roller rockers.
turbo city intake
24lb/hr matched injectors.
summit digital ignition box
accel coil and wires.
swapped in an np242 as well.
what i'll be doing
360 with flat top pistons(shooting for 9.5-10:1 compression)
new cam that i still haven't decided upon yet. probably in the just under .500 lift area with the roller rockers' increased ratio
double roller timing chain of course.
all the bolt on parts from the 318, and a tune from kolak to get it all purring properly.
the transmission will get a racing master rebuild kit and a transgo shift kit. leaning towards manual shift at the moment as well.
after and during this i'll be tackling all the squeaks and clunks in my suspension.
i'll be picking up the 360 tomorrow or monday and doing as much prep work on it as i can during next week as i've got a layoff then. if i have time i'll throw my transmission back together so that i can get you step by step on how to pull it apart.
