Hi all, I have a 225 super slant 6 block and manifold. We bought a spare engine a few years ago and decided to use that instead of rebuilding this one. We simply don't have the time to do what we'd like to do with it. Initially pulled for bad head gasket. Came out of a 78 volare. Pickup only...

I messaged him along with a bunch of other 4 speed guys, nobody knows what the stick is from. I've searched everywhere. I've decided to just keep it for now and deal with it. It works great in my truck.

I'm in Oconomowoc. About 30ish mins from Milwaukee. EDIT: I should add that the shift lever isn't from an A body, sorry if it sounded like it was. It's a NOS unit from a mustang I believe, but it fit well in my application which is made from almost all Abody parts. The mech is a synchro loc 3...

I have an A230 that was rebuilt about 1000 miles ago. I ended up pulling it and replacing it with an A833. I also have a NOS Hurst comp shifter mech+lever in excellent condition to match. It's a B/E Body unit, you can make it work with A body linkage (that's what I did). I still have the linkage...

Hey all, I have a shifter that I'm not sure what it's out of. There are no numbers on it. After research, I THINK it could be a 7036, but I have no way to be sure. This used to be a bayonet type shifter but I drilled it to fit a bolt-in application. I've attached a picture of the shifter I...

Yes, they're currently out of stock. I've also checked Ebay, but they're very expensive there. Hoping to find some potentially cheaper options here.

FWIW I haven't had any problems with my adapter. I'd have to pull out my receipts to check, but I think the adapter I bought was the one from Hughes. I haven't had any issues with it yet. Many spins to 6400RPM at 400hp+. about 1.5k miles on it so far...but I don't have a fuel pump eccentric either.

You can use a LA cam in a magnum, just use the extension piece. Aftermarket cams for the magnums are pretty scarce. This is coming from my experience on a 318 though, not a 360.

My fault. Edited my original post.

Hey all, I'm looking for a 71-74 A-body non-console, 4spd floor shifter lever in good shape. Let me know what you have and please post a pic. Thanks, Karl G.

I just used one tube on my 9.25.

Hi all, back again with some transmission woes. Got my 4-speed reinstalled and now it has a different problem. In 1st, 2nd, and 3rd there is a very loud noise on deceleration. The noise immediately stops if I put the clutch pedal down or hit the gas (even if just a little bit). The noise is...

Hey all, I have a general question with AC. That is, does the AC system draw power even when not engaged? I know it draws power when it's turned on, but I'm wondering if simply having the pulley drag on the engine would cause more than a 1-2hp loss. I'm considering adding AC to my Dakota but...

Update to the thread: I just called Brewers and they said it's definitely a 64/65 A body shifter and that the factory shifters did not have any bushings -- just washers.

@Magnum87 , reviving this semi-dated thread, if you need some parts, I might have what you need. I have a 94 Dakota Sport that I changed almost everything on and kept almost all the stock parts (tranny, rear end, wiring harness, computer, etc.). If you end up needing any of these parts, let me...
