Hey Everyone,
I'm toying with the idea of doing a standard transmission conversion on my 225 slant 6, 66 Valiant station wagon as I'm neck deep into it already!? ;)
I know I need the setup from an early A body (64-66?)........bellhousing, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, transmission, transmission hump, pedal assembly, clutch linkage, floor shifter. Are my years correct on what fits? It's a 66 wagon, so I believe the body itself is a 65 correct?
Also, what standard transmissions would be a "Bolt in"? I assume factory, 4 speed (A-833) for those years correct?
I was thinking of doing a hydraulic clutch set up, but I like the idea of keeping it all looking stock.
Thanks in advance!
