Would a 4 speed transmission out of a '72 Charger with 340 V8 swap onto a 225 slant in a '74 Dart? Were do the adapter for bellhousing and crank come from?

72 Charger is a B body. It used a different tail housing and mounted the shifter in a different spot than the A body Dart.

I don't think you can use it.

Thanks Greg, that is what I was wondering, if it would even fit.
