My dad has a Muncie 4-speed tranny that I was wondering if it would work in my Charger? It was a factory 4-speed car. I haven't looked for a mopar 4-speed yet, but have access to this one if it will work. Thanks for the replies!!!
Quicktime bellhousing #RM-6079 would take care of the bellhousing issue but you would still have to make a trans mount, drive shaft modification(new one since existing is too short for muncie), speedo cable and shifter location. But like everybody said, it's not worth it since any non-overdrive A833 is stronger than any Muncie and bolts right in.

The Muncie is weak in comparison to the New Process 833. It would seriously devaluate your Charger too. As said, used 833's are not expensive. What is expensive is the non-muscle era gears, meaning mid-70's and into the 80's. Get an 833 that is a 68-70, repro gears are cheaper than NOS. I just rebuilt a 73 A-body trans and went through all that cost myself. The 833 is very easy to build too. You just need good snap-ring pliers and a home-made countershaft arbor for loading the countershaft. Forget the Muncie, Chevy racers did and they used to convert to the 833 before getting away from manual trannys altogether.

I had many Muncies in Chevelles I built when I was young. I could pull those transmissions with my eyes closed. If you know what I mean... Run away from your Dad's tranny, and don't look back!!!!!!!!!

It'll last until about the third time you really pull 2nd gear, then the cluster gear will explode. Trust me, I used to be able to pull the Muncie out of my '64 Chevelle in 30 minutes in my Mom's front yard.
