It could be the reverse rod on the manual 3 speed tranny currently in the car would work on the OD tranny. I'm just trying to be sure it's a do-able swap so he won't feel I sold him a setup that wouldn't work. Thanks
No, with a 3-speed manual trans, the reverse and 1st rod is shared, as is the 2/3 rod.
It's definitely do-able. There's someone over at slantsix.org adding the same trans to an early A-body- check out the Trans & Rearend section.

The shift fork is also different. OD4 only.
The pivot point for the fork is farther away from the crank/transmission centerline due to the large diameter 5-1/8" transmission pilot.
