I'm converting my Coronet back to a 4-speed again. It has now a John Cope tranny with a reversed manual valve body, but it was always my goal to have a A833 equiped car. I gathered all the parts and now I can mount the crashbox underneath the Dodge. Ofcourse, with a little help of my friends because I ain't no mechanic. So, that makes me extra proude to show-off my work of today: painting, marking and calibrating. I'm superhappy with the endresult. Judge for yourself:

A lot of runnin' around finding those parts to convert, and LOTS of money brother. I know, I just did the exact same thing to my '62 M.W. car. Looks good.
 
Brewers Performance helped me out just fine. They're a real pleasure to do business with, even overseas! I ordered all the "missing parts" there...

The bellhousing is from a German Moparshop (www.moparshop.de). He has ton's of parts...

Traded my John Cope tranny with the gearbox and tail.

Shifter was found by a friend of mine who has an e-body. Some parts where missing...orderd @ Brewers.

The shifter handle was found by a friend of mine about 6 years ago. He never knew it was a 65 shifter...

Clutchpedal was already there in the car. Also missing parts there where ordered @ Brewers.

Paint for markings was from a toystore, bellhousing paint was from Six-Packspeedshop in Belgium (www.six-packspeedshop.be), paint for gearbox and tail was from local garage.
