If its a 65 auto I doubt it has B&T shaft.Only standards had them in 65.Contact Steve at Imperial services as he makes stuff for the cable trannys and has a bunch of poly mounts.My kid used one of his mounts to install the new TF in his 62 300.It was almost a perfect fit.The sb trans wont fit a BB.Rocky

I guess the main question is if i have a '65 column shift with all cables from a 904 trans will the cables work with a '77 727 trans?
thanks
Not without one of the conversion kits that John mentioned,and they won't be inexpensive.

As said above, you need a cable trans, or a linkage column. If you have to buy specialty adapters you will probably spend more money. Although, the money may be well spent if another trans or column isn't readily available in your neck of the woods. Travis..

I swapped the 273 and 904 trans in my '65 Coronet to a 496 stroker big block and a 1965 727 trans. All bolt in other than the driveshaft. The '65 904 is a ball and trunion and the '65 727 is a slip joint. The shift and park cables are the same regardless of engine trans combination. I took the 273 and 904 and put them in a '65 Dart which originally had a slant six. Shift and park cables were exactly the same there too. The "B" body trans was a bit long, but, a shortened ball and trunnion shaft cured that. You may be able to use a '62-'64 727 (ball and trunnion), but you will need a '65 valve body.
