I have decided if I'm keeping my 67 it's get a manual. Would like to go 4-spd and eventually the A855 for overdrive.
Well, a friend says he's found a trans with small block bell housing and shifter. Says it's a 23 spline from an A - body. Would there be any reason I couldn't use this? Another friend has a set of pedals and maybe linkage from a 67 GTX that was converted to auto.
I'm sure there are other parts like crossmember and hump, but hoping this might get me close.

Shifter location is different. I know there are plans on the net to make an adapter for a B trans in an A body, but not the other way around.
As I remember, the A shifter location is just behind the crossmember and the B just in front.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

. you'd be better off looking for a "B" body trans.
If I had a spare B-body trans around I would gladly swap you for an A-body trans.
I am sure there is just as much aggravation with doing it the other way.
