They currently have them, but in fiberglass. 1963-66 A-BODY FLOOR TUNNEL FIBERGLASS - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission & Component Specialists

Yeah, don't use a drill through carpeting- that can have disaster potential to it! Use a soldering iron to poke the holes through- nice, clean holes and it seals the edges all in one step!

Don't forget that the trans. crossmember needs to be modified for the dual exhaust to fit. From the Tti website: https://www.ttiexhaust.com/Sheets/Crossmember_sheet506.pdf

Yeah, the pipes are made long so they will work with either 107 or 111" wheelbase cars (Valiant/Barracuda vs Dart). Thus the 4" cut is sometimes necessary.

Just so you know, those rears used tapered axle shafts, not flanged.

I believe a bezel is still used on top of the boot, and beneath the console plate. 1963-65 A-BODY SHIFTER BOOT BEZEL ROUND - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission & Component Specialists

An El Gremino?

^^Yup. I use a length of mechanic's wire (or coathanger), but the idea is the same.

x2 on the TopCat. Got mine through Dante's.

Yet, you'd think that they could still design something with some class and personality, not the homogenous, all-look-the-same, quasi-aerodynamic lumps that they shove down our throats now. The best looking cars now are just rehashes of fifty year old designs and styling cues- Challengers...

Yep, A and F bodies used the same transmission tailshaft and shifter mounting points. I wasn't sure what mods you may have done to swap it into the Volare. Oh, and you'll need a '66-'67 speedometer cable to hook the later transmission to your '65 speedometer.

A B/E body four speed will have the shifter mount fighting for the same space as the crossmember hoop, or back between the seats in an A body. The F body brakes/knuckles will fit if you use '73+ upper control arms with the large ball joint, or a set of ball joint adapters.

Also- You will need a V8 cable-style throttle linkage, an early A ('66 and earlier) unit will bolt in, but you may be able to make the Volare unit work with a bit of creativity. your slant 6 uses a pivot-rod style throttle, which is totally unworkable for a V8. Depending on your options, make...

Gee, that worked out well. Too bad they didn't hang on to a couple.

I can just picture you sitting at the kitchen table with it, working the linkage back and forth and making "Vroom-vroom" noises... :lol:
