Transmission for push-button Barracuda

columbusjack said

I have the shell of a push-button 64 Barracuda, no engine, no transmission. I have a 318 engine which I would like to put in it. I have heard that I need a 904LA transmission to match the engine. I don't know if that is correct. I also don't know whether that transmission - or any other suitable - would also function with the push buttons. I have only just begun to learn about such things, so please understand my ignorance. Guidance, please!

Good morning

What year 318 are you working with?

If you want to stay with the pushbutton, you'll need a V8 A904 ... they differ from the /6 case due to the starter position lower down. Also. The A body tail shaft is shorter than others ( B body) You'll also need to determine if you want to stay with the ball and trunnion propeller (drive) shaft. Some have been modified.

Drop in some pictures of what you're working with. It'll help everyone understand better.
