vitamincj Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 J.W. Transmissions makes adapters, you have to machine the bell housing off of yours and it bolts on where the pump bolts in. I dont know if they make one for your's but its worth a shot.
