904 tranny and bellhousing questions

Is anybody a transmission expert? Anybody ever use an adapter plate to bolt a tranny on that wasn't supposed to fit from the factory? I have a Chrysler Conquest with an automatic overdrive transmission. They are known to be weak and if you add BPU's you are certain to break it. Usually the 1-2 shift kills it. I know that Chrysler imported a Mitsubishi and called it the Fire Arrow in the late 70's early 80's. The Fire Arrow had a NA version of the 2.6 liter 4 cyl engine that my Conquest has but instead of this weak JATCO tranny it had a Chrysler 904 with a "custom" bellhousing? I am not sure what was done to the bellhousing to make it fit. So...to summerize..I will break it down into 4 questions.

 

1. Does anybody know anyone with a '79ish Fire Arrow?

2. Does anybody know if the 904 came with a removable bellhousing OR if there were different "castings" for the 904?

3. Would the 904 stand up to 350HP/400lbft torque?(No way I would make more than that in the near future)

4. Anybody know anyone local that could make an adapter plate?

 

Thanks for any input,

CJ

I only have a little info for ya. The 904's bellhousing is part of the case casting so it's not removable. Also Mopar used different bell housing patterns for their small block, big block , and slant six. There is a small chance it could be the same as one of these but it's unlikely. You might want to look up J.W.transmissions, they have some odd adapters.
