64 valiant 4 speed conversion questions.

The 10.5 bellhousing swap is easy. Just use the Brewers Performance conversion parts. No need for a hydraulic throw out bearing. No "clearancing" of the firewall is necessary. As for the shifter, the 64 65 A Body Hurst works with the 6350 mounting plate and 67 later rods, Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and Component Specialists . All A body operating levers, Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and Component Specialists, are the same. You can also use an A or F body O/D if you use the O/D rods, Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and Component Specialists and the O/D operating levers, Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and Component Specialists but you must use the standard A body reverse operating lever in place of the 875 O/D lever. The original 64-65 2298 mounting plate rotates the shifter clockwise and down. The newer rods may not have enough adjustment to work with the 2298 mounting plate. I do not know if the 64-65 rods are being reproduced. If you are lucky enough and have a set, then use the 2298 mounting plate. Of course you can also use the 68 up A body shifter instead of 64-65 shifter. They are interchangeable. Just center the hump on the shifter since the 64-65 hump has the round shifter hole.
