Hey There Mopar family,
I'm cloning a 55 Windsor into a 300. The mill I found is a 55' 331 Chrysler apparently hot rodded back in the day with guad 2 bl carbs , and other items. 1 being what looks like an old ford tranny, 3spd with Over Drive. (That's my best guess at what it is anyway). The engine & tranny combo weren't installed in a 300, but I am considering dropping in an A833 (via a 'hot hemi heads' adapter plate), instead of the old ford tranny shown in the pic.
This adapter plate fits A833 trannys for small blocks.
My questions are: (help with any one or more is appreciated)
1. will my 1999 Dodge small V8 truck 5 speed tranny bolt up (is it the same as a A833)?
2. Will it fit under the car? (my reading indicated Elmer C. Kiekhaefer used taxi 3 speed trannys while racing NASCAR in 55 with tese 300 types.), not sure if a 99 truck will fit..
3. is a 1999 truck standard as good as the A833?
4. How much power can it take?
5. any experiences/tips worth sharing?
Many Thanks,
Mike
