: I posted a ? about this at clifford and in turn
: got the suggestion for posting it here. On
: my 63' I would like to put 4 on the floor in
: place of my column shifter. I've heard the
: A-833 tranny is the way to go. I'm not if
: this is compatable for becoming a street hot
: rod.

: I just finished a conversion from a 904 to an
: 833 on a 1965 Valiant. It really wasn't that
: hard. Gathering up the parts took longer
: than the conversion. Find a "3 on the
: tree" car for the clutch linkage. The
: bell housing is hard to find but they're out
: there. I see 64-66 833's that have the 64-66
: output flange on e-bay all the time. They're
: VERY heavy.
:
: I don't know about the 63. How is it different
: from a 65 a-body? I do know that now that
: I'm done I'm having a great time. It's a
: blast to "row" a slant 6. I do
: kind of miss the 904 when I'm stuck in
: traffic. Next for me is a 8 3/4 posi rearend
: with 3.23 gears. Best of luck. You'll fine
: the guys here very glad to help.

: I am not sure what in your mind is a 'street
: hot rod'. My '66 Cuda started out equipped
: as a manual stg sl/6 stick, 3 on the tree. I
: parted out a '74 Duster that provided
: big-bolt pattern frt disks, m. cylinder, and
: a 3.21, 8&1/4 r. axle with 10" drums. I
: swapped in some '76 Dart Police T-bars. I
: also swapped in a no shifter stg column
: tube, and an early A-body 4 spd tunnel. I
: installed an A833 from '69 Dart that burned.
: I also scratch built a HD Z-bar of my own
: design. With a stone stock 225(with a coupla
: yards on it) it is peppy and fun to drive. I
: personally think sl/6 4 spds rock, but maybe
: that's just me.

:
: I'm not looking to make the car run 9's or 10's
: in the 1/4, but I do want it to run fast and
: solid. I guess by solid I mean a tighter
: suspension. The 4spd I know would help me
: rid of that 2ooo rpm difference shifting
: into third, which is a drag trying to get on
: the freeway sometimes. Does anybody
: manufacture the 833 anymore or is it up to
: personal luck in getting a hold of one?
