If you have the original 14" from 62, they will be the big ones.

This shifter?

 

[62Dart440]

Mine looks cleaner, and the sticker is different, and park cable isn’t installed on mine

Mine looks cleaner, and the sticker is different

Yep, haven't cleaned it up, but mine is for a reverse manual valvebody.

 

[62Dart440]

trans is reversed VB, so yes it shifts exactly like the pattern on your cover. My grandfather, uncle, and dad made a shifter plate, drill and file. So you have to push to the right to get to 2nd and 3rd. And only reverse above neutral, park slot doesn’t exist in the plate.

Mine works just like the sticker. No stop between N and 1st, so it has to go away from N to be safe. The second cable is what makes it a pushbutton shifter for Park. Maybe you only have the single cable, the reason for no park position.

 

[62Dart440]

i have the park cable, they just didn’t install it.

Real nice Gotta love the "Old School" it's the look I was after when reviving my '62. I've even had thoughts of magnetic lettering and numbers so they could be removed if I wanted to.

Any guess to What year this style shifter was made or used it sure looks like a early B-body consol shifter handle

Might have been. As it is for the pushbutton trans, I would guess mid 60s to maybe late seventies? I haven't looked for any kind of manufacture date.

The knob on the B&M shifter looks almost identical to what came on the factory console shifter for '64-'65.

The one in my dart was bought in 71, until then they used the push buttons, and the linelock was mounted on the right side of the dash. After staging, they had a thumb on the wheel, and finger on line lock, the left hand was set to shift, not a really safe way to do it.

According to NHRA the Dodge only was avail with the inline 413, they were rated at 385 or 394, the 394 version had the J heads and 1.74 exhaust valve like the inline 383. They were supposed dealer installed for racing and police work. I have a set of the 3258 and 3259 carbs which show 62 Dodge when specs are found. I have both the low and raised block manis and did quite a bit of testing on the street and strip back in the 80s and 90s.

Did the 394 hp version have solid lifters?

Here is the setup I put on my 426 Street Wedge in my 1964 Dodge Polara 500 convertible I used to have. I was gifted the carbs by a Corvette friend. They were on the intake he needed for his 1957 2 X 4 283 Corvette motor. I ran the numbers and they came back a I expected: 1962 Chrysler 300H. I had to modify the linkage on the rear carb to accommodate the Dodge throttle cable that pulls the linkage back from above the fulcrum point. The '62 Chrysler has mechanical linkage that pushes the linkage ahead from below the fulcrum point. Classic Industries catalogues a couple of pieces to make the conversion to 2 X 4 inline easier. The carbs also require a spacer under them so carb linkage does not contact intake runners. When asked, I told people that this was an available dealer installed option (wink, wink).

Yes,.490 lift,the 385 also had the 1.74 exhaust but .431 hydraulic, just checked.

Here the wagon my grandfather bought in 68 I think. One of the many wagons that hauled the family around. My dad drove it in high school and a few years after that. But the gas tank started rusting out, and it had trouble pulling his boat, so he bought a pickup in 89 and parked it. It’s rough, I don’t think there’s any floors, the rockers are barley there, rust is starting to form in the bottom of the doors. I got it 2015, thought about making it run, but things have gotten in the way. Now I have no idea what to do with it, I have too many projects and not enough time or money. I really like the styling of the 62s

I'd like to find an original kick down rod for the big block, 2x4. I had to modify the B block rod for my 62. It's a little short.
