It gains size at the back of the case where the extension housing bolts up plus the mass of the od/extension housing. The length of the main case is the same as the 727 but you will need to do some work on the t-bar crossmember where it loops over the trans plus modify the trans crossmember and mount. Also you need to get a driveshaft cut down. Is the car floor shift? If so, shifter modification too for the mounting to the trans. Cooler lines are larger too. Is it an RH or RE trans? RH is 95 back and can be operated by simple switches for the od and lockup. RE, 96 on, must have a trans controler to operate it.

Very good read here, http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=84774.0I'm actually just getting ready to do my 1st test drive today, been working on this on & off for a couple of months. Definitely a lot of little obstacles to overcome, every install is a little different. $1500 is a good deal, I picked up a 518 at JY for $200, then another $1000 for a rebuild.

I believe my 74 Road Runner had more trans tunnel clearance than most A bodies I've looked at.

Hi Mopar fans and experts!
A '72 Satellite pro touring project has just landed in my lonely garage. I hope that someone on Moparts knows if an A518 overdrive trani will fit without modifying the trani tunnel.
I don't have any pics available yet due to technical issues, but I'd like to eventually start a build thread in the proper section. The previous owner mini-tubbed it and installed a 9'' ford rear with disc brakes. I already have a 360 six pack engine, which will reside under a Mopar shaker hood scoop. That scoop looks amazing with the Satellite's rounded body style. The wheels will be from Show Wheels. The "Streeter" 20's & 18's. They are a 5 spoke design... black with a machined lip. I'd like to paint the car Curious Yellow with custom formed black "Reverse C" stripes, like on a 1970 Super Bee.
Anyway, That's my story, and first question. Thanks, Steve
Souds like a cool car, show us some pics!
