440 4-Speed Guys... Knowledge Please

well I'm sure others will chime in. but I'm collecting parts to put a 4 speed in my 72 swinger, with a 383 tho.
from what I've gathered the 23 spline is plenty tough enough to be beat on with a decent amount of power and is what I'm using, a friend of mine ran a 23 spline trans behind a 440 in a c body and he beat the daylights out of it, broke everything but the trans. you can use a long tail a833 b/e body but may have to make a shifter bracket. third are arrivals how to do it which is no big deal. I went with the short tail a body trans. as far as bellhousing brewers sells reproduction bb a body bells but if your going to beat on it a scattershield is good insurance, I bought a QuickTime bell which is a nice piece, it comes with ibr adapters to work with the smaller 4.35 ibr like I have up to the 5.125 larger one. I'm using a 10.5" mcleod clutch with 130 tooth flywheel 10.5" clutches have plenty of bite to handle whatever you throw at it.
and as far as "fitment" give me a month or two and I'll let you know exactly how it goes lol
