current price on an A body 440 , 4 speed ?

What is called a "Hemi 4-speed" is an 833. It is instantly recognizable by the 1" x 18-spline input shaft. These were not a factory production item in any of the A-body cars except for those Hurst-built hemi Barracudas and Darts of 1968. The hemi 4-speed WAS used in the B and E-bodies that were hemi engine equipped or had a 440. 383 cars used the small 23-spline input shaft as did all the small blocks. The gears in the 18-spline trans cannot be mixed with those of the 23-spline - they are cut at a different angle and the ratios are different. The front bearing retainer is also larger on the hemi trans.

If you can find an 18-spline 4-speed anywhere for $600 you better scarf it up!!! You can build one but that's expensive too! If you need parts, contact Jamie at Passon Performance or Brewers.

The 23-spline version is an excellent transmission that will take a hell of a beating and keep on going.

Real men drive pedal cars!

By the way, the hemi gears can be put in the A and F-body 4-speed OD aluminum cases. The early ones used the beefy mainshaft that takes the 727 yoke while the later ones use a 904 yoke. It makes a big difference in the tailhousing. This is what I did in my '71 Demon Pro Street car. Check out Dis my ride on this site.
