73 dart swinger project

thanks for the info fishy. Do you by any chance know of any 4 or 5 speeds (manual is okay) that would fit with that engine?

Your welcome. Since it's a standard LA small block the old reliable 833 4 spd. will work. I'm know very little about manual transmissions so I don't know if there is anything else out there that'll fit. You might post a question in the manual trans. section to see what the guys that know them say.

As for automatics, if you don't mind doing some surgery on the crossmember you can put in a newer A500 or A518 out of a Dakota or Ram made before 96. There will be a little wiring to do also to install the stuff to make the o.d. work. But for what you'll spend on building an A500 or a518 (both are pretty costly) and considering the work to make them fit you might as well go with a Gear Vendors. Just my opinion.
