Depends on which one the A body one is shorter.

Yes the short A body one. I am not sure of the casting numbers.

Any 833 will fit, including the aluminum OD versions....just takes the right shifter, bellhousing, driveshaft, shift linkage and shift mount adapter (there are patterns around to make your own for the long tailshaft versions).
"Fit" might be a word. I don't think ADAPTING a long shaft into an A is exactly "fit." It's not a bolt in. Some trans won't "fit" because of the retainer diameter. So you have to play

It is as much of a bolt in as a short tailshaft with the exception of a few hours to fab the shifter bracket.....the drawings are floating around the net, plus they are more abundant, and if he presently has a 727 he will not require a new driveshaft.......
It really depends on budget, what parts are at hand or available locally and the OP's wants.....

What did it come with? My '70 Valiant has a three speed stick from the factory & I love it as is, very fun to drive.

currently a automatic paired with slant six. Dropping in a 408 stroker. Want a good manual tranny to pair with it
That's a point but what about shift linkage? Does any factory linkage fit this swap?
Does the adapter plate fit into a factory 4 speed tunnel?
what are you using to put it on your 360 la motor , i've got a package to put it in . what you got ?

It puts the shifter into the factory A body location and uses the A body rods.

With bucket seats the long-tail can easily be "made to fit", and I love the rear mounted shifter placement.
I never since 1969, liked that waaay-over-there shifter placement, with it's way-too-long and all-twisted-up stick. When the T-handle busts loose on the 2-3 shift, your knuckles are in the dash at all the power your shoulder and abs can put it in there.Stirring that thing is like stirring a witches pot;Half the race is just stirring that thing.
But maybe that's just me. I like a high-mounted,short stick,located right at my thigh. Snick,snick,snick, aaaaand done. Yeah,a custom rear mount! You will never be sorry.OK;make that; I've never been sorry.
Besides, if you ever want a GVOD, they only have a long-tail adapter, and you will be all set up for it.
