Title: modern manual transmission to mate to a 360
Post by: GoMangoBoys on January 24, 2025, 09:43:56 AM
I am working on my 32 Plymouth build and I am thinking about what tranny I will use.  I am have a 360 Pre-magnum roller cam engine that I will rebuild (possibly a 408 stroker???) I want an overdrive transmission.  I am not 100% thrilled with the A833 OD transmission that we are running in the Challenger.  Can you guys recommend another transmission?  I am wondering about the transmissions for the modern Challengers and Chargers, or maybe even Dodge trucks?  When my dad bought the car in 1963, it had a 56 Chevy engine and tranny in it.  The tranny was a Saginaw 3 speed which is a similar configuration as the A833 with the shifter and linkages on the side.  This put the shifter between the driver's legs in that coupe.  I would rather have a center mounted shifter if possible.  I know that this isn't e-body related, but you all are the best and most helpful Mopar people that I know.

The OD 833 or a T56 would be my vote

NV 3500 from a Dakota with a V6 or 5.2.

Why not a TKX?
