Changing a 727 to a 833 or a Tremec?

[SteveSS]

Is there some book, manual or website that would give me a step by step guide on how to change a 1970 383 Coronet 500's trans from an auto to a manual? With the proliferation of 5 and 6 speeds i wonder if it's that much more difficult to swap in a Tremec instead of an 833. I'm sure the tunnel would have to be enlarged. Doesn't the tunnel have to be modified somewhat for the shifter hump when swapping to a manual?

If you are looking for a 4 speed and all the parts for a swap, I would just call Brewers and they can provide everything you need. Otherwise you will go hunting for a year to find everything and only save a little money. For the 4 speed swap steps, this post on Dodge Charger is one of the best and what I followed when I did mine. How to do a 4 speed swap...with pictures!

Tremec will provide most parts you need and the new TKX is supposed to slide in with little to no tunnel mod. Here is a decent video on the swap in a Charger -
