output shaft is also diff, I believe most of the internals are diff too.
No , the mainshaft is the same for either trans .
It's more than just the spline count of the input shaft that makes the 18 spline trans stronger .

The output SHAFT is the same, but all the gears are different and cannot be mixed-n-matched. You could use the small 307 front bearing, but would have to buy the rare 66 18-spline bearing retainer.
Should be able to buy that piece as an aftermarket billet piece ?

Ok, BASICALLY ... you need to forget about screwing around with this thing. Sell the 23-spline and put the $$ towards an 18-spline. Do you honestly think you're going to find the 18-spline gears "loose" other than new ... dream on buddy! An then you'll still be bastardizing the unit by using the 307 bearings.
Yes, its nice to take on some challenges but this one will cost you more time and money to piece together ... if you ever get there.
I know what you mean and yeap with a litlle more i'll get a GR-5 clutch assisted G-Force trany, and really i dont care of bastardizing a 833 as long as i found the parts for cheap,By the way Brewers have the gear set for 840 something, i can put it together myself, but i was just asking, i will use my 23 spline trany the way it is and if it fails then i'll better buy a G-Force unit and done with it!

I believe so. I researched when I had my 66 hemi trans that was missing the bearing retainer. I wound up selling the trans and bellhousing when I decided that my next project (this was before I got my Barracuda convertible in 2006) would get an automatic so that my wife could drive it, too.

That would be the best thing to do , or just buy an 18 spline trans and take the guts and put them in your 23 spline trans .

It appears he is wanting an 18 spline in an A-body.
A bodies a used shorter trans and the factory didn't make 18spline A-body transmissions. (Hemi Hurst Barracuda's not included)
No way to do that except buying one built, doing it your self or dealing with a B/E body trans in an A body modifications.

Why the do YOU care ?
First the guy asked an question and you answered it , when he asked another question YOU decided to interject your opinion instead of answering his question. And now you are asking me a stupid question that doesn't answer the OP's question.

the only output shaft that changes are the old short shaft A-body 833 trany that uses the small spline count output shaft like a 904 auto trany but the rest uses the same 30 spline 727 style one and newer short tailshaft A-body 833 also uses the 30 spline 727 style!
No this is not true , all the iron case 833 I have had were all 30 spline , only 904 sized A body trans I have seen is the alum OD case trans .
