833 tranny

"Long tailShaft" won't work..You need a short tailshaft 4-speed for an A-body in a Duster. I have a couple if looking. Also have an OD Cast iron case as well. Have a set of pedals I think as well as most of the linkages.

I think I MIGHT even have a small block 10.5 Bellhousing.

Actually if the long tail shaft has two shifter mounts you can use it in an A-body if you don't mind a little fabrication. You will need to fabricate a adapter that bolts to the rear position on the tailshaft and positions the shifter forward to the normal a-body position (the front mount is partially under the torsion bar cross member). The second thing is the drive shaft will need to be shortened. Bigblockdart.com has a drawing for the adapter.

I put a long tail shaft A833OD tranny in my 68 Barracuda back in 2000 and now 70k miles latter I am still rowing the gears.
