Stick shift cars are lots of fun on the street. My 67 was a slant sux 3 on the tree, with 9" drums all around. Its morphing into a 360, A833 OD 4 speed (no console) , 8&3/4 rear, everything big bolt pattern with power cordoba big brakes on 74 dart spindles and power steering.
Try to network with folks on here. There may be some FABO members close by who can help.
I know what its like to get a car somebody formerly botched up, especially if your unsure of what its supposed to look like in the areas that were modified like the 4 speed conversion your has. If its messed up It sucks having to unfuck it. I'd recommend taking lots of pix of this and maybe posting them on the appropriate forums here and ask questions about the install. I am sure there folks here who will chime in, and maybe post pix of the correct install.
Kinda odd he would swap in a stick for drag duty. Autos are more consistent. Who knows, maybe the 383 4 speed combo was long gone when he got the car and he had a clapped out 360 dart sport 4 speed car with a good drivetrain.
I just know one thing 67-69 cuda front fenders in good condition are a rarity. So much so that an undented rust free one will fetch $400-$500. Even an undented one with a bit of patchable rust on the bottom will fetch $250-$300. Take care of em they are like gold.
