Converting an automatic 74 Swinger to a 4 speed
Hey guys,
just curious, Is it possible to convert an auto to a 4speed?? Say I had a 360 motor, 727 Trans?? Would parts be available? How difficult would it be? How costly? Would it be cool and not look stupid?
Not for the faint of heart. I'm speaking from experience.
You'll need...
A-833 transmission (and possibly a rebuild kit)
Hurst shifter body (and possibly a rebuild kit)
Shifter to trans adapter plate, plus bolts
Shifter handle
Shifter handle knob
Shifter handle rubber boot
Floor to shifter handle boot bezel ring
Shift linkage rods, and accessories
Bell housing, complete with inspection over
Bell housing ball stud
Clutch fork
Clutch fork return spring
Clutch fork boot
Clutch fork pivot inside bell housing
Clutch fork adjustment rod
Throw out bearing
Pressure plate
Clutch disc
Flywheel
Pilot bearing
Clutch pedal assembly
Clutch rod
Z bar
Z bar bushings
Frame ball stud
Frame ball stud support bracket
Firewall clutch rod boot
Clutch and brake pedal rubber covers
Clutch and brake pedal bezels (optional)
Reverse lamp switch
Reverse lamp wiring harness
Reverse gear indicator light (optional)
Speedometer cable and gear (IDK if the 727 cable can swap over)
4 speed trans tunnel hump
4 speed carpet
Driveshaft
U joints
Floor shift steering column (if currently a column shift)
New starter (possibly)
All associated bolts, bushings, bearings, seals, gaskets, and retainers
