4 speed fitment?

[edsauto518]

Will a 69 b-body 4 speed fit in a 63-65 b-body? I know the speedometer cable goes in a different spot and the 69 will be slip yoke but wondering about the shifter mount location and if it is close or the same location as a early b-body one would be.
Thanks,James

Yes. It will fit.

Yes. It will fit.

Hey Rusty, I thought the early A-body had the short tail shaft with the ball thing on the back shaft ? Like that one I had shown you when we loaded that motor.

So the shifter location is the same?

I don't know how to be more clear. YES the frikkin thing WILL FIT.

Right, but he already said he had that covered. Remember too, the A body has a different shifter location on the tail shaft compared to the B body. As long as his later transmission is a B body trans, it'll go right in and all he'll have to do is configure the drive shaft.

Ok thanks,You said it would fit but didn't say anything about shifter location so I just wanted to make sure.

Yup, long as it's a B body trans, all is well. Now, there are a couple of different shifter adapters. You may need to get the right one.
