4 speed install on 68 Dart, 440 6 pack
Sharing some pics and info of my 4 speed swap I just did on my 68 Dart. It wasn't very complicated, easier than I thought. Took me a couple months tinkering with it on the weekends. I won't go into details, we all know how it bolts together. I did get really really good at installing and removing the transmission, and real good and taking it apart and putting it back together. The drivers side engine bay is really tight and busy, but it all fits in there.
It's a blast to drive and got my attention real quick when I took it off the jack stands and made a test run to McDonald's for lunch last Sunday. Never going back to an automatic. Driving it around a bit before I put the carpet and rear seat back.
Parts:
Pedals - Good used from a 69 Dart
Quicktime bell housing - RM6073
Trans - Very good used A833 from a 71 Duster
Shifter - Very good used Hurst SS3 complete set up for A body
Hump - Used from a 69 Dart
Brewers clutch torque shaft kit - TS252KIT (This kit is the bomb!)
Brewers 23 spline reseal kit - GS23 (I resealed my trans and zero oil leaks! Not even sweating)
Release bearing arm - New in box Mopar I bought at a swap meet. Forgot part # but I had to shorten it 1"
Roller bearing pilot conversion - Forgot part number, bought off eBay.
Clutch - Napa (Luk) - 10.5/23 spline forgot part # but it's "just to get it going". It will probably be toast by Halloween.
Flywheel - Good used 10.5/130 teeth that I got resurfaced.
Flywheel & pressure plate bolts - Factory Mopar ones from ebay.
Drive shaft - Driveline shop re tubed/lengthened my old one .
