What differences are there between the two as far as interchangability? Coming to the pros here. Thanks, Dave |

What do you want to do? The transmissions don't share shifters or bellhousings. The clutches and flywheels are the same for a given year. driveshafts are the same length. There are no column shifted 4-speeds. |

Thanks Joshua, you've actually answered most of my questions. I guess my only other questions are do the older slantsix, 68 and older take the A833 tranny or was there a different 4 spd and what year did the crankshaft change from 1.55 to 1.81 (convertor guide hub). That would lead to the question does the diameter of the pilot bushing for the 4 spd change as well? |

Crankshaft and flywheel changed in '68, but the pilot bushing stayed the same. There are '64-65 flanged output A833s and '66 and newer slip-yoke output A833s. The '66-'67 used a smaller output shaft like the A904 and 3-speeds. Then in '75 the A833OD. No other 4-speeds. Well, maybe overseas, but not here. |

Just curious, would a 4 speed from a 1972 340v8 fit onto a slant six 1974 that has an automatic now? |

Assuming your 340 donor vehicle is an A-body the transmission, shifter and shift linkage will fit. The clutch linkage, clutch pedal and floor hump can probably also come from the donor car, but you'd still need a slant six bellhousing, flywheel and clutch. |
