Value of an A-833 O.D?

If they do not come with the shifter linkage they are wothless
as they take special linkage.Also they have large retainer ring
so you will need to find the proper bellhousing or change the retainer
ring.The aluminum one is not as strong but just fine look for a short
tailshaft which all aluminum i believe are short tailshafts.There is a lot
of stuff to consider when doing this OD tranny.I've seen complete good
ones go for 5-6 hundred ballpark 2-3 hundred

Really? You better tell that to mine, because I bought some Hurst A833 linkage and it works just fine.
