Also a battery tray... Unfortunately I'm on a tight budget and I'm trying to find some sources for the body parts that are affordable but not incredibly cheap chinese crap. Any recommendations? Another thing I bought a BB 727 off ebay, the guy lied and it ended up being a 19 spline... I'm having a heck of a time finding a torque converter. I'm trying to find a cheap 2500-3000 stall 19 spline converter any suggestions there? Thanks in advance!

I ran into this a long time ago. I wondered why I couldn't get the converter installed and finally counted the splines and it was 19? I changed that and never looked back. I like your car!

Also I'm looking to get a new case with like 3.55 SG gears for my 8 3/4 rear. Should I go with the small yoke for the case or get a case with the bigger yoke? I haven't check but I'm assuming since it was a 318 car the driveshaft prob is for the smaller yoke... I'd love to go all out with new driveshaft large yoke n all but my budget is tight.

Thanks in advance I have never heard of a 1968 small block b body with a factory 727, but if that's what it has it would work with the big block tranny. If you need a 727 large yoke & drive shaft I have a extra plymouth set up. PM me if you are interested.

"rrunner" i'm pretty sure it was factory but it could have been swapped in the lates 70s by the guy who owned it before me? I'm strapped for cash and after the body work i think i'll be pretty much broke. i'd go for the large yoke and setup you've got but the shipping to me here in IL would probably break me lol. "pnypwr" thats hat i need to find to source the trunk and rear frame rails 1962 Chrysler 300 convertible 383/727 1970 Dodge A108 Boogie Van 318/727
