Transplant question

[pikewi]

I have a 68 cuda vert. I got it without engine or tranny. It previously had a 225 in it. I picked up a 225 from a 68 Dodge Dart. Anyone know what I am going to run into when I decide to install? I already noticed the tranny on the "new" motor has a three prong plug and the cuda has no female end that I can find. Also appears I am goint to need trans linkage. Any ides on that?
Thanks

Should bolt right up..... Do you have any linkage on the Dart tranny? Which shifter do you have console or column?

your earlier car had a single wire going to the trans for neutral safety. Your cars reverse lamp switch is on the steering column or the floor shifter. I have a few pieces of the column shift linkage.

I have all of the linkage on a slant 6 in the shop. If you need it just message and i'll get it off for you. Geof

Thanks for the replies. It is a column shift and I don't have the linkage from either veh. I am going to go take a closer lookie today to see just what I need.
Thanks again

In that case your reverse lamp switch is under the dash and mounted on the steering column. It has 2 wires, purple I think. If that switch should ever fail you can route those 2 wires trough the firewall and on to the trans switch instead. Meanwhile you will only need the one brown wire coming from starter relay to the 3 prong neutral safety switch.

OK, Thanks redfish. Does the brown wire go to ant particular prong on the plug?
I have another new question but will start a new thread.
