Does anyone reproduce a V-8 centerlink for 63-65 A-bodies or know the mods necesssry to a S6 link for LA V-8 to S6 swap? i don't mind cutting and welding the S6 link but would prefer a solid piece.

Nobody is reproducing them as it is a non wearing part. I'd suggest sourceing a good used one here or www.forabodiesonly.com or www.bigblockdart.com

There wasn't a '63 V8 centerlink as there was no V8 A body in '63.

The '64-'65 V8 centerlink may be a little hard to find, but a '66 centerlink isn't. For '66, the slant six link was discontinued and all '66 A bodies used the V8 link.

It's hard to say what was changed on cars over the years but I did a V-8 swap on a '65 Barracuda years ago and didn't have to change the centerlink because it already had the V-8 centerlink but did a V-8 swap on my '66 Valiant recently and had to change the centerlink to a V-8 centerlink.

I'm thinking the 64-66 A used a shallow /6 centerlink and a much deeper drop V8 centerlink. As said no V8 in '63 A's.
