Found A833

I wonder if it is financially feasible for a non-professional rebuilder to recondition a derelict manual trans. There is usually a reason why the trans was partially disassembled and then chucked into a corner.
Even just a kit and two synchronizers will drive your costs way up. Add a short M/S, a couple of forks, a new input gear, a short tail house....... and you see where this could end up.
Check the FABO sales forum; there are often members here offering good deals on complete, and correct, drop-in transmissions.

For a streeter, the A230 with the right rear gear, and a matching engine combo with a broad powerband can be fun........ for some.
But not me, I don't have a broad powerband;lol. As soon as you start upcamming you're gonna run into the wide splits problem.
The A230 ratios are
V8; 2.95-1.83-1.00; splits of .62-.55
/6; 3.22-1.84-1.00; splits of .57-.55
So whatever you rev to, the rpms will fall to those splits on the shifts.
Say you have a 230* cam and the power peak is ~5200, so you shift at 5500. On the 1-2 shift, your Rs will fall to 3400 (2.95low box); so you need a
powerband of 2100rpm. Say you have 150psi cranking cylinder pressure; Yur done; at 3400 your 318/340 is mired in quicksand. To get out of it, you will need a super low-gear rear end, or more cubes, or more pressure......
But it gets worse; the 2-3 split will drop your Rs to ~3000 for a powerband requirement of 2500rpm.

Now, consider the A833.The ratios are;
2.66-1.92-1.40-1.00, and splits of .72-.73.-71; all near to the same.
So when you rev to 5500 the Rs now fall to just 3960, for a
powerband requirement of just 1540!, which is perfect for that 230* cam in the low-pressure engine. In fact, you can run an easy 108/106 LSA instead of 114* or more. And that is a game changer. That will let you up-cam one more time, with very little loss in bottom end.... which means more peak horsepower ............. if the heads don't puke.
Conversely, you can down cam 1 size, to a 108/106LSA cam, have more cylinder pressure and so, with similar absolute peak power, but more torque at lower rpms. and better fuel mileage too.
