65 Barracuda 4-speed???

[low_kota]

Will I have any issues swapping the 4-speed and rear end from a 1965 barracuda into my 74 dart? I may be able to get one at a reasonable price, but want to make sure the parts will swap over before I look at the car. I know I would need a new bellhousing to fit my slant, but what about everything else? floor hump, pedals, clutch fork, etc...

Floor hump, pedals, shifter, trans output and drive shaft are different.

The '65 will also have the weak 7 1/4 rear end, verses what is already in your '74 (an 8 1/4, I believe).

I would highly suggest you look at another donor car. That 65' tranny will also have the trunion rear fastening for the drive shaft, rather than a U-joint.

Big differences between a '65 and '74 A-bodies!

Sounds like a bust...
Thanks for the feedback

Speedometer cable is different also.

Ay matey,
Be more then glad to help you with the swap sounds like you may have what I want 8 1/4" and you want what I don't 7 1/4" and early wide ratio trans.

Seriously though sounds like others have talked you off the ledge, I was just going to give you a little nudge. Hahahaha !!!
