I have a nice A833 trans I got and was told it was from a duster and it’s not. Ugh but I have this b body a833 trans can I just put it in my duster and have a drive shaft cut ?

Can’t be all that different. Parallel To Frame it will be same but shafts needs to be little shorterYes. Should check pinion angle if you go this route.

The shifter location is closer to dash in b body a833 not closer to the bench seat / yes I want to keep my bench. To me I just need a bent style shifter : y’all tell me . I don’t mind buying a a body tail for itWhat kind of seats do you have. For obvious reasons the rear shifter location won't work with a bench seat or buckets with a console.

My thought was to leave B body tail on it . Our shift farther forward where I kinda want it. A body shifter put it right where my bench seat is. I think I’d rather it 2-3” closer to firewall . And get a drive shaft cut . Am I missing something ?It’s not that simple. Just can’t swap tail housing. You have to swap output shafts and tail housing. Can be done, but costs are a factor, could be cheaper to trade with someone...

Yes you are;Am I missing something ?
So yes all the above . My dad was a life long mopar guy alwsys had challengers .John, can i ask, you had a wanted add for a A230 today and stated you had a 903 in need of repair.
Do you have a bellhousing that will fit the A 833?
If you do, I'd test fit it in your car and figure what it will take to make it work. It may or may not be what you will be willing to do instead of finding a correct transmission. Just a thought.
Hmmm well I was liking the farther forward b body shift position. I just want a decently reliable trans for this damn carYes you are;
that long-tail with the front pad will NOT fit into the tunnel of an A-body. That front pad interferes with the T-bar crossmember upper hoop, and a good part of it HAS to be ground off to get the trans high enough to fit on the un-moddified crossmember. Even if you got it in there, you still need over 2.5inches of room for the shifter. You cannot cut that crossmember out in it's entirety. I mean you could, and you could rebuild it 3 inches to the driver's side .......... but then where would you put the seat/seat tracks?
Forget about using the front B-body pad.
