I need a manual for my 440 Dart. What kind of vehicles should I be looking for at the boneyard? Did the A833 come in any trucks? What cars might have had them? I don't want an overdrive version right?
 
Well the B/E body transmissions were long shaft, same length installed as an A-727 Torqueflite, but the shifter mount(s) is/ are in the wrong place. (Some long shaft transmissions had two shifter mounting pads after 70)

I really don't know what all you'd have to do to use a long shaft 4 speed, so far as building a shifter mount

Otherwise, you pretty much need an A body gearbox, or F body, if they actually didn't use OD in them.

Some stuff

If your running 325hp and below, look into the NV3500 5 speed from a Dakota.
