How to do a 4 speed swap...with pictures!

[AKcharger]

DANGIT.. Gotta read all over again. Couldn't get past Ms. Bouncy 

... Did any of you guys use a dial indicator to align your bell housing?  I have two 'stock' dual bolt pattern bells.
I've heard of input shafts, pilots getting eaten up by not doing this.

Thanks

Sorry about bouncy lady...not really 

Yes I failed to take a photo of that step but yes have to use a dial guage...the service manual has good instructions on it. you will then use off-set dowels to make sure it's alighned properly.  and you are correct, that is why so many clutches and stuff were eatten up when were were kids and just threw em in

I bet the current price to do a factory 4-speed is north of 5k Now. Not counting labor.

Has anyone here ever put an aluminum-case A833 overdrive transmission from a pickup truck into a 1969 Charger (or any other B-body that would be the same)?

I want to do this but I seem to have hit a roadblock. Brewer's Performance says that I need to use the B-body shifter mounting plate, shifter linkage rods, and operating levers instead of the truck-type ones, but he also said:

Is your overdrive all cast iron, or aluminum main case?  There can be mods needed to the rods with the aluminum case.  The orientation of the milled flats on the selector shafts is different from 1:1 4th gear units.

And he said there aren't enough threads on the rods to compensate for it by adjusting the shifter rod swivels.
