4 speed upgrade tech article?

[ValiantOne]

Years ago i read an article (Mopar Action maybe??) about doing a 4 speed upgrade to an automatic car. I've searched online to no avail. Anyone remember this (or another) article and can point me in the right direction?

I am getting ready to install a 833 O/D in my 68 Val. I have most of my parts at this point, save for the bellhousing. The donor trans was from a /6 car. Anyhow, I have never cut the floor out of one of these things and don't want to do a butcher job so I figured a little reading is in order.

If anyone can point a brother in the right direction that'd be great.

Thanks,

CE

Do a search in the 4 Speed section. Lots of topics there for the swap.

There is a lot of good info at the bigblockdart.com tech pages.

To cut the hole, lay the 4 speed hump on the floor and mark around its outside, then remove it. Cut an inch or two inside of the line that you marked. Be careful to not cut into your cross member!
