Please post reviews and pictures on your aftermarket automatic transmission pans. I’m thinking about swapping mine out, just so my trans can run a little cooler.
Yes, the 48re and the 727 use the same transmission pan.Ronnie or anyone ..... the trans pan for our trucks appears to look like the old 727 mopar trans pans .... curious if they are and would fit the trucks 48RE ..
Yes ,, but back when mopar direct connection was operating ,, they did sell a stamped steel deep pan with filter extension with a drain plug .... I used the neoprene gasket.True dat, although the 727 used a shallow stamped-steel pan with no drain plug.
I know what you mean did the same on my 73 340 duster , man I loved those 340’s .... I put 11000$ into my 73 way back when .. modified everything ... took me 11 years to find a factory remake of the 6pack edelbrock mainfold and holly factory set carbs ... summit had them and cost me just shy of 900$ for everything new ....I also bought that "kit" from DC for my '71 Hemi Charger.
I installed a TransGo shift kit ($14.00) at the same time.
Oh, and some head porting for that 340/360 (as the stock heads had very little going for them). Or better yet, an aftermarket performance head of some nature to complete the package.
Getting the compression up is a big one either mechanically and/or a cam choice that builds cylinder pressure in the rpm range of concern. I had my cam ground on a 115 lsa which favours lower rpm torque (cylinder pressure) over peak horsepower numbers, that I personally couldn't care less about. I also have a custom piston top that provided squish/quench with the Striker chamber. The block was also zero-decked to maximize this advantage
Strikers already use a fast-burn chamber but when coupled with squish/quench, it compresses the charge, makes the mix easier to light off and reduces the chance of lighting the end gases prematurely (detonation). All these things add to efficiency. For example a D-piston top doesn't work with the Strikers and is relatively easy to see why. Mine are more of a reverse image of the combustion chamber as the piston top BECOMES an integral part of the combustion chamber.
Another big one is keeping the primary size on the small side so reversion can work and NOT overscavenge during overlap so the mix doesn't leave the cylinder and be wasted.
We want the fuel to be burned inside the engine!
