Spent most of my time chasing parts or being mesmerized by all the wing cars, but here's a few of the pics I managed to grab with my phone.

I plan on using the Saginaw tilt scope that I got out of a 70 New Yorker (C body). The column mounted (Chrysler) key switch looks to be the same as any other Mopar of the era. With the scope collapsed, the steering wheel hub to steering box length measures out closely to the same length as the...

FWIW I picked up a set of early (guessed to be from a 94 5.9) Magnum manifolds years ago from a private party who did not know what they were taken off of, and was not 100% sure of the exact model year either. The outlet diameters choke down to around approximately 2 1/4” in the last inch or...

It looks from the first pictures you posted for my solution to work. However, if the linkage pivot shaft is too short to engage both sides of the linkage bracket, take a random nut small enough to leave a smooth bore after drilling the threads out and weld it to the inside of the far end of the...

You stated that the linkage worked fine with that linkage pin and the only problem was the pin length was too short to allow the retaining pin and washer on the outside of the bracket to secure it. Nothing says the retaining pin/washer needs to be at the far end and you should, even if the...

Did you get the linkage pivot pin issue resolved?

Trying to get clutch disc alignment close enough to get the transmission to slide all the way in with most “alignment” tools can be especially frustrating, especially when using those cheap plastic ones often supplied with the disc. Even loosening and retightening the pressure plate multiple...

After rereading the entire thread, I came up with a couple more things that might be of interest for anyone else contemplating or dealing with this swap; The original 727 cooler hard lines are a smaller diameter than those used with the 518 variants and the transmission needs OEM sized lines...

Even the earliest of 273s should be a drop in, and a good plan to get the car back up and running on the cheap. If the 273 lower radiator hose outlet is opposite from your 340 (earlier models), use the later parts off the front of the 340 on the 273 to get the outlet to match the radiator, or...

Of course, if you were to use a complete 68-69 Camaro console that matched the shifter.......

Dodge pickups 66 through 68 used a dash mounted shifter with a single cable. The transmission end of the outside sheath for this cable is mounted in a bracket that bolts to a cast in boss on the side of the bellhousing. Clamping the Chevrolet shifter cable (several variations of this shifter...

Stock 518 or 46R(H or E) converter matching the transmission can be used if you’re bolting the transmission behind a small block LA or Magnum with the caveat that the stall (K factor) might be a little lower than you want if you are running a modified engine (big cam, etc. etc.). The final...

Very detailed and concise diagram and explanation. I seriously considered using it or one very similar, but decided for my application to forgo the delay relays and run an adjustable pressure switch and toggle switch in each ground circuit to control overdrive and lockup engagement...

The hydraulic switches control the ground circuits. Rather than use a single toggle to cut the 12 volt supply, engaging or cutting both the overdrive and lockup circuits in unison, I used two toggle switches, one in each ground circuit for independent control, allowing overdrive without lockup.

Three pin neutral safety switch came in around 1969 or so. A 1972 would use a 3 pin switch (center pin is for the neutral safety circuit, the two outside pins are the pass through for the backup light circuit when reverse is engaged). A further note on the overdrive operation- The 46RH has a...

46RH and 46RE is just 1992 and up nomenclatures for the 518. The 4 refers to the number of forward gears. The H in RH refers to hydraulic actuation (spool valve gear selection). The E in RE refers to electric actuation (computer controlled solenoid gear section) of the primary gear box. The...
