Hey guys. Building a 66 dart. Gt with a magnum based 408. La heads. And a gear vendor overdrive. Will post more pictures and a write up on what I had to do..here is 408 going in it
68 should be easierGood luck. I'd like one for my 68 Dart.
I will. I have everything I need. Just have to do the work...Install in minutes with simple hand tools, right? This sounds like an awesome car. Please post some more pictures when it is done!
The controller is made by MSD.I had one in a 71 Challenger, and it barely fit after beating the living crap out of the floor pan where the OD unit itself rode. My cross member fit fine....but it was an E body with a much bigger tunnel. The worst part about GV overdrives is the electronics. I didn't have any trouble out of the one in the Challenger, but an RV I bought already had one in it, and both the electronic control, and the shift solenoid on the OD unit took a crap and had to be replaced. Knowing what I know now....I'll use an A500 or A518 if I ever want OD in another Mopar. You're doing a nice install, and I hope it works well for you!
Those trans were on my short list....Just required relocating the cross member....And issue with Console fitting in stock location...I had one in a 71 Challenger, and it barely fit after beating the living crap out of the floor pan where the OD unit itself rode.

Yes 66 a lot different. Very limited room under there...I put one in my 67 Barracuda notch behind a 904 with no cutting. I lowered the crossmember about an inch and put the controller in the console.
