Auto Column Shift in a 63 Valiant????

[xLURKxDOGx]

Has anyone made this conversion, and ifo so how difficult was it? I found a column out of a 66 dart and the linkages as well. Im guessing things need to be notched in the firewall and holes drill in the frame?? Any input or pick would be great!!

Thanks

I haven't done said conversion but you are on the right track using the 66 column and associated parts. The column will be a bolt in; hopefully the transmission will have all the right notches/holes/contours to install the cross link.

Thanks! I forgot to mention this was with a 360 magnum, and now i thought someone said those manifolds would be an issue but cant seem to find it anywhere...

The column won' t quite be a drop-in; you'll almost certainly have to swap the '63 column-to-firewall plate onto the '66 column, because the '66 plate is different in incompatible ways. But that's not too difficult; it just requires a bit of disassembly and reassembly. Other than that, you're on the right track.

Oops! Yep forgot about the floor plate. Thank for the reminder!
