I just bought a pile of Mopar A-body and racing parts, some stored in a seacan, and the rest stored in two serviceable full sized vans. I also bought the vans as it saved me from unloading them, and they were cheap (another $500). The racing gear included 2 Mopar straight 6 cylinders engines, one with a tranny, and a set of Mopar racing rims and slicks. I was told most of the racing parts had belonged to drag racer Tommy Shawnsburg. I tried doing a search on him with no luck but I was told he drag raced 70 and 71 Cudas. I haven't gone through all the stuff but there is a lot of 63-69 Mopar A-body stuff (mostly first gen Valient and second gen Barracuda) like trim, glass, hoods, doors, and fenders. There was even a full front clip for a 64 (?) Valient. There were even parts for a 1958 Nash Metropolitan, mostly complete except for the body shell and the frame.
Can anyone ID the manual transmission in the last picture? The numbers on the case are 13-02-065-909 W.G. DIV NF(?)c.4. The numbers on the tail piece are 13-02-027-908 W.G. DIV

Good score (depending on what you paid for it).
No idea on the trans. identification. Maybe for the Nash Metropolitan?
 
The trans in the picture looks like a ford.It looks like it's from a 6 cyl.Maybe wrong. Mark

You might be right Mark. There is some generation 3 Mustang stuff mixed in with everything.
 
The trans looks like an amc trans 2 me. Is it a 3 spd and what size dia imput shaft and how many spline.
 
.........I think he got divorced a couple years back.........Schonsberg?...i know he always brought his Hemi Cuda to the Stock Super Stock race at Saskatoon....but i think u have been mis informed....anyways good score ..kim.......

It is a 10 spline, and the tip of the input shaft is .748 inches, and base is 1 inch I think it is a 3 speed
 
My 73 Gremlin has a 10 spline but I think its 1 1/16. the case is cast with an aluminum tail shaft. My cast numbers are different than yours however. Hope this helps.
