4 speed conversion

[69'Net]

I just did a 4 speed conversion on my 69 roadrunner. It was a fun project and a lot of work. Also repainted the engine bay. No way I could have done it without this forum, came here a lot during the process. Took 4 weekends total by myself.

I bought most of it from brewers. I was able to source some things from a local salvage yard

Nice work, and more satisfying knowing you did it yourself.

That red engine bay looks really nice...

I have everything to do my 4 speed conversion in stock...I think. Hope to start on it this month...

Awesome! Is that color R4 also? Honestly it's pretty simple, I struggled the most with getting the damn column back together

PP1....... If I ever paint the car it will be viper red from Kirker paints. I would have to mortgage my house if I used a big name paint.

Hi '69 Net - great job on the conversion. I've got a '70 Roadrunner that I've almost finished the restoration on (Repainted, rewired, new interior etc). It has a 440 with a column shift 727 automatic. The car apparently came with a 4-speed because it had 3 pedals when I bought it 2 years ago and there is a hole in the floor console area that has been welded over. I removed the clutch pedal when I had the dash frame out and installed the larger brake pedal designed for an automatic.
I'm getting ready to pull my 440 engine due to a rear main seal leak and was thinking about converting it back to a 4-speed.
I found a rebuilt A833 B-Body 4-speed that I'm considering buying but trying to decide if it will be worth it and concerned about the availability of the parts I will need. I know Brewers has the conversion parts but wondering if I could find parts separately (and cheaper).
Now that you've finished your conversion, do you feel it was worth the cost and work?
Thank you for any info you can share.

Nice job: Great way to get rid of all the annoying fluid leaks the 727's have after all these years too.
