Mine showed up yesterday.so they are shipping. These are going in my 70 cuda converts. Both have 500" motors at about 720 hp. One will have a 3.91 rear the other will have a 4.10. I will post feedback after the break-in. still on the list for 2 B bodys and an A body...
The car on the lift is my 68 charger, with a broken 3rd gear 18 spline trans. This makes about 3 of them that have broke 3rd gear. Hopefully this is a thing of the past......

Put one in, and drove the car about 50 miles today. All I can say is WOW!! First, it just slid in, just like it was a regular 833. It was like it was made for the car. Everything bolted up perfectly.
Driving impression:
So so smooth. No vibration. No noise. Shifts like a dream! Throws are nice and short. Shifts much nicer than any 833 I have ever shifted. And the overdrive! It makes it like a totally different car. The way it was before, I would drive about 2 hours, and be done. The noise and vibration just wore me out. I would be at 3000 rpm,s, just to cruise at 60 mph. That gets old quick. Now, about 1900-2000 rpm,s, at 60.
In my application, i think in time it might pay for itself. Less $9.00 gal race gas. Easier on my motor, especially valve springs.
After I get it broke-in, I will start to lean on it. I will report back then. Cant wait for the other cars to get theirs! I'm sure I will be driving my cars a lot more now....
