I'm building a 65 Barracuda 225, A904 trans. with trans-brake, 8 3/4 3:91 rear end for the street and strip. Tricking out the 225 (hoping for 275 HP). I'm looking for suggestions on what type of torque converter to use. Norm |

Are you using the 60-67 crank, or the 68 up crank? 68 up trans? |

Norm, I don't know for sure, but I don't think anyone makes a transbrake for the cable shifted trans. As for a converter your best bet is to call a converter builder and give them your build info. Do not buy a "off the shelf" converter. Edge, PTC, and Midwest have made slant six converters. Myself, I use Edge. My advise would be to use the later crank (68-75) and use a 68 or newer trans. It will be easier and cheaper, if you have not built the engine or trans, yet. |

Did a little research. A&A Transmission can build a transbrake valve body for a cable shifted 904. Their price is $650 plus a $200 refundable core charge. They recommend a billet rear servo, also, at $80 |

Thats great info. Reasonable price also. I haven't tore down the engine yet (feel bad about that, as it is a fine running engine, only 48,000 on it.) however, to get the HP I want, head and deck work are on the agenda, cam, rods etc. I'll see if my "parts source" has your recommended crank. Their price is $650 plus a $200 refundable core charge. They recommend a billet rear servo, also, at $80 Thanks for the guidance. |
