moparcrazy, if youre referring to the 65 & earlier cable shift trans, it will go right in. There is a difference in the valve body between a button shift car and a column/console shift car that you have to be aware of.

If you're referring to a post-65 linkage style trans it gets a little more complex but it can be done. I have not seen a writeup on here about doing that while maintaining the stock console shifter, but in fairness I have not looked. I did this in my '64 Sport Fury some years ago using a modified stock shifter and a B&M cable kit. It wasn't perfect but it was functional and totally hidden. I'm sure that with a rework of my modified lever lengths I could have made it right.

'65 big block transmissions are available. Not the cheapest, but available nevertheless. Check out the transmission for sale section on Moparts.

I've got a '67 727 in my '64 Polara and retained my original shifter and console. I used the Imperial Services http://imperialservices.net/ conversion kit. You will need to purchase the cable conversion kit as well as the conversion mount. It works well.

Hmmm Imperial Services still waiting to hear anything from them in 4 months since I paid them for a speedo for my 727.

Took 3 years and alot of phone calls to get my cable conversion kit from Imperial Services,but I did get it........I'm sure it will take me that long to install it and get the car running back on the road.
