65 cuda auto to 4sd conversion

[challenger57]

I am tired of the auto so out it must go. Will a pedal assem. from a 65 dart v8 work in my 65 cuda v8? what 833 would fit best. My motor now is a 75 360. I already have bell housing from an e-body and some z bar brackets from 63 valiant 6 cyl if usable. Would my 6 cyl. man. tranny cross member work? Also what about drive shaft, will I need diff. one?

The pedal assembly from a 63 through 66 is what you need. Pretty sure the Z Bar is also the same. Since you have a 360, I believe you'll need an externally balanced 360 flywheel to go with your 833. If your crank is not drilled and equipped with a pilot bushing, you can use the mid 90s Dakota bearing bushing.

the same trans cross member as you have now,, you will need an A body trans,,same trans as a volare/aspen,some of the volare/aspen have over drive,,make sure you get the proper fly wheel the new 360 magnums are balanced differently,,,then the older LA 360 motors,,

if you have a 63- 66 A BODY Z bar from a /6 all you have to do is shorten it,,i dont know if the E body bell housing has the bolts holes in the correct place for the bracketry,, there is a special bal stud bracket for the 63 - 66 cars that mounts to the frame for the Z bar, it is the same from a v8 or / 6 but hard to find,,

brewers has every thing you need do convert except the frame ball stud bracket,,but if your inventive you can make your own bracket,just make sure the Z BAR is straight,,good luck it is easier then you think,,
