I need an 8.8 swap for dummies list.. I’m putting a 8.8 out of a new edge mustang (what I have laying in the barn) going in my 78 Lebaron. I need parts list and install instructions if any has em. I know I’ll need custom drive shaft.. What else is needed to use stock mustang calipers and...

Sorry for not being on info long. Come to find out he missed the manual valve lever not being in place. So I pulled the valve body and fixed that defect is a real pain lol. Car is driving well I have my kick down I think a tad tight (I have to completely let off for it to shift into 3rd) so...

Hey guys I finally got my 904 in after putting it off in my 78 lebaron. But I’m having some issues. I had the trans (non lockup) rebuilt with the stage 3crt kit their budget converter, and a trans go shift improver had a good friend (does trans work on the side) go threw it with a fine tooth...

Alright guys rather then start a new thread I’ll just add to this one. I just picked up a 74 360.. complete 1.88 j heads performer intake, .30 over h405P pistons, 3418645 rods, with some sort of cam that’s looks like it ran a month ago!! What do I need to do to retrofit roller cam set up from...

Gotcha only thing I ran behind the cluster was 2 speaker wires. But I made sure they were out of the way of any of the original wiring unless something has come loose? I’ll be pulling the dash back off tonight hopefully and will be able to double/triple check wire routing and such. And thanks...

Hey just an update I had a bad head unit been jamming out ever sense I switched out the head units but shortly after some of my gauges seem to of died. I started a new thread due to me not think the radio and gauges are related sense they worked for a few days before acting up.

Alright guys been about a week or so now sense I installed my radio and speakers in my 78 Lebaron. Gauges worked like the should after install but all of a sudden my fuel gauge dosnt read above E and my temp gauge is all they way to the left and not moving. Does anyone have a good wiring...

Alright guys sorry the rona bs has shipping all messed up I was able to finally get my speakers in and ran all new ground wires and all new power wires for the fronts. Was all pumped up to start jamming but turn radio on find favorite radio station and no noise... I’m a rookie when it comes to...

Trust me aspen I feel your pain. I needed to upgrade and couldn’t find anything that looked “clean” or belonged in a 78 2dr Lebaron with 14/15 staggered keystones so I chose to hide it. Gauges in place of the radio looks cleaner to me then hanging off the dash somewhere and gives a more down to...

Awesome thanks guys I’ll try and get some pictures of the install. I was very surprised I could fit and hide a double din in the glove box with “minor” work. radio has a remote that fits nice in the ash tray so you wouldn’t know it was there. Until you realize the factory radio is MIA. I’m...

Gotcha will be running wires in the morning. Dumb question sense I’m away from the car currently. Where do they run the wires to the rear speakers? I assume under the passenger or driver sill plate?

No I didn’t n that thought crossed my mind after the fact.. I may run a jumper wire for testing purposes I guess I assumed it was copy n paste like my previous installs?

Alright guys I just finished installing a aftermarket head unit in the glove box of my 78 Lebaron. Don’t freak out the glove box was already cracked n some heat gun persuasion to the air duct and it’s completely hidden with the glove box closed. Still need to trim n polish for final assembly...

Iv seen a body bumper n some tucked f body’s but not an m body tho

Don’t flame me if it’s been discussed before I tried searching n couldn’t find anything.. has any one “tucked” the front and or rear bumpers on a 77-79 m body? Ik they have the heavy bumper “absorbers” and the filler panels. Ik the Chebie guys tuck their mid 70s cars. But idk if anyone had a...

Thanks again bud! Any chance I could bug you one more time lol? My spare trans i finally got the numbers off the side of it- 4028464 5526 0214 is this trans gonna give me any surprises when I go to order rebuild parts or anything I need to look out for sense your the man it seems when it come...

Thanks guys I’ll be sure to pick Mr cope’s mind. I’ll have to get out to the garage and look for the number on my spare trans I have. I also have 3 other slant six 904s that I could rob of internals correct? I’m under the impression that it’s the bell/case and inputs that are different between...

So would you rebuild with one of the cope kits and then suggest running a trans go shift kit? Upgrade the rear sprag for insurance? And this should live behind a mild small block on the street?

Awesone and mikes5thave I appreciate the concerns about the 904 vs 727 but I’m gonna try and use what I have before my old man kills me for dragging more parts home lol. And Camtron I’ll look into them thanks guys keep them coming guys.

Looking to rebuild a 904 out of a doba for my Lebaron. But have some questions. 1. Do I need to worry about tailshaft or transmission overal length? 2. How can I determine what series of 904 it is for parts without the tag?(missing) 3. What rebuild kit, shift kit, and upgrades do you guys...

Yes this will be built for my Lebaron. I’m waiting to get the rest of the magnum block from my buddys and getting the heads checked out before I go much farther my heads and block are going to be the determining factor. If I gotta clean up the bores I’m gonna go ahead and get it decked as well...

Sorry guys works been picking back up and turkey season has me distracted atm. but I agree I don’t wanna go to radical but I want a nice healthy engine trying to use what I have available the only reason I’m nervous of going with theMag block is it has 230k on the bottom end the heads were...

Alright so iv been mulling it over. I’m contemplating going with kB 107s to try n help gain some compression vs the stock pistons. Is there anyway to improve compression ratio with stock pistons without mill the heads or deck to death, and is it worth it vs going new pistons and a slight mill...

Thanks again guys and I agree street car and race car on the street are two different things. I like all the feed back keep it coming

you wouldn’t happen to have more detailed specs on that engine do ya? If I can find a rather cookie cutter recipe that be even better. I’ll also talk to my machine shop and see what they recommend but am happy to see some ideas coming in
