1970 Polara 4 speed?

Thought about it.
Find me a power brake clutch and pedal assembly.
A pedal to Z-bar rod.
A Z-bar.
A Z-bar support bracket
A C-body clutch fork
Someone to disassemble the fender to weld the support bracket onto the frame
A Floor shift steering column.
A shift indicator delete plate.

I'll do the rest...
 
Anything is possible with enough time and money. C body's with manual trans were available in greater numbers up until 68 though most were 6 cyl or 318 cars. Beyond that numbers fall dramatically. If you can find a doner parts may fit, floor shift hump is available as a "B" body part and may fit without much trouble. Best advise is parts books available on MyMopar, compare numbers with the B's see what would fit and what won't. Anyway, good luck.

WHY??.
Buy a new one correct C-body one.
I thought I just discussed this...
 
Stan if you ever Get around too Making that "How to Manual" Let me Be the First to invest in it. I think it would be a Awesome Book Filled with great Tips and Quick wit.
 
$250 for that? Seriously you have no isue with paying that? I do. That's at least 4-5 A body ones, and frankly it's under a carpet, and sheetmetal work is easy. The list of parts is also easy to address in most cases if one has the skill and understanding about fabrication and how the parts work. I had my car running and going through the gears minus the column shift conversion and floor section before I had to get rid of the car. With the E/B trans using the forward shifter pad, everything worked including the driveshaft. At the time I was an E body parts vender so that's all of what I had besides some tools and a mig welder.
 
That is me. I have the pedals mocked up as you can see in the thread. I think they are going to work. The floor hump came from the 68 also and fits perfect as the floor pans look to be the similar from 65 up. The z bar, mount and rod looks like it fit like a glove. The only thing I can remotely see on the pedals is maybe the angle of the footpads where they are welded to the levers. They could always be cut off and the angle changed.

I want to go manual clutch as opposed to hydraulic because of cost and I like things to look somewhat factory.
The only other issue is most of these pedals are for manual brakes. Not an issue for me I like manual disc.


There is a Thread on here, A guy is putting a 4-Speed in a 70 Chrysler 300 Convertible. He is using 65-68 C Body pedals, Z bar. I would love to see some Fuseys with 4 Speeds done Up right Especially a 70 Polara.
 
I've done fully stock, mechanical.
I've done semi hydraulic.
I've done fully hydraulic.
I have learned and I am still convinced that installing a hydraulic throw out bearing on an A833 4 speed is not a good option. It would take too long to explain unless you want me too...
All mechanical works simply and very reliably.
