Yeah. The A833 4 speed OD.
 
Yeah that'll do it. I have to get something similar to bolt my 331 Hemi onto an A833 OD.

You can use a 200R4, but only if you run less than 1000 hp. All overdrive automatics require a little massaging of the cross member and a new rear mount at a minimum. 518's and a lot of the others require major transmission tunnel work, the virtual removal of the center crossmember section and subsequent reinforcement and suck up lots more power to drive too. The gear ratios aren't as good either.

There's some good posts over in the Drivetrain section.

GEARVENDERS. only shortening the driveshaft is required, other than maybe a dimple for floor clearance. ( from gearvenders website)
 
WE used a J W bell housing on a 518, in the car hauler
would take alot of floor work to put in a "A" body

Due to fuel cost (440)
changed it over to a Cummins 5-speed
