So I only had a 904 trans to put behind the 318, which left me either finding a driveshaft to get the trans yoke and then build one to mate to the 8 3/4 rear end I am putting under it. So instead I bought a running driving 82 Dodge pickup 4x4 with a 360 4 bbl/727 combo for 400 bucks! Taking the trans to my engine builder to have a long tailshaft installed since the 4x4 had a married transfer case. That will allow me to just shorten an Imperial driveshaft to go between the 727 and the 8 3/4! Pics to follow in a few short days! Got everything I need from NAPA and Summit sitting on the bench to finish the 318.

I removed the brake booster, shortened the rod and reinstalled everything. no more crushing stacks. Also tossed the front brake calipers in the trash and put a "T" on the lines. So both front and rear resiviors run into the rear line. Need to find some different wheels. These are 15", but they hit the front caliper...no biggy, I pulled the front caliper.......now they hit the a-arm. I must have found some funky offsets somewhere.

Never ran one of these or a Cordoba, so I have no idea. I know that I purposely didn't put my built motor in it just in case its not real stout. LOL
