Title: couple more ignorant questions by a newbe
Post by: boss429kiwi on April 29, 2011, 01:59:08 AM
Hi

On my front cross member there is a steel disc (approx 2") welded on with the number 79 stamped. What does this mean?

Does the HEMI and 6 pack have a different gearbox to the std 440? If so whats the different?

Couple of new photos for ya.

Thanks again

not 100% sure  but that disc  on the K frame  is the factory  part number  & the Hemi torqueflite has an extra clutch disc  5 as apposed to 4  i believe  ,  :popcrn:

good pictures !! awesome line up  :drool5:

not all K frames have the "coins" on them...I don't have one on either car.  Some have more than one, too.

the four speeds are the same internally--all three big motors got the stronger 18 spline boxes.  everything else came with a 23 spline input shaft, weaker gears, etc.  The automatic hemi cars do have a different forward drum with 5 clutch discs instead of 4.

I've been doing that all week.  4/25, 4/26, 4/27. 4/28, 4/29.  It's muscle car week!

My coworkers now think I'm just a little more insane, too!
