Hello all,
I have a question about selecting the proper transmission to use behind a fuel injected 440 Magnum (stroked to 500ci) in a 74 charger my dad is restoring. He has the original 727 tranny that came with the car, and he was thinking about building that tranny to handle the 650HP the motor puts out, then using a gear vendors splitter for the overdrive. The concern is that this tranny uses a mechanical kickdown linkage that won't work with the EFI setup. Is there some way this tranny could be modified to work in this setup, or would he be better off using a newer transmission? Keep in mind if he uses a newer tranny it needs to fit in the car - 74 chargers were before the days of overdrive.
Thanks for the input :thumbup:
