Here goes guys.
The A904 Torqueflite was used behind the Slant 6 & small blocks up to 318 as far as I know. The Slant 6 Valiant was it's original application.
The A999 was a heavy duty version of the 904 which also often had lockup. This was used behind the some 318 & all 360 that did not get a 727.
The 727 Torqueflite was used with heavy duty optioned slant 6, small block & all big block V8. Also, a few Cummins
The A500 is an overdrive 999.
The A518 is the trans we know behind our Cummins & heavy duty small block engines.
There was never a factory big block 904 / 999. They can be bolted up with an adapter & some drag racers do use them, however, they are not long lived behind a big block.
I have been told that a 904 / 999 will bolt up to a big block by pulling one dowel pin & some careful alignment. My cousin did this years ago not knowing any better & it lasted several years behind a 383 in a 4x4 truck. I really cannot advise this myself.
Oh, & a Loadflite is just a slightly recalibrated, heavy duty Torqueflite.
The 3 speed transaxles are also slightly smaller, repackaged variants of the 904.
