All,
Has anyone dumped a Doug Nash 4+1 trans in an E-body? If so, can you message me/email me.

I had a Richmond in my 64 Savoy and I can tell you that it's a whole bunch of fabrication involved. There is a guy local to me that I was giving advice to that put a Richmond in his Cuda. He did have to fab his own transmission crossmember and shift linkage. I used a Long V-gate in my Savoy so I needed a substantial hole in the floor. I use an e-body shifter position in my car and had to make my own mount up and at the rear of the transmission. Also made all my own custom linkage with CM tubing and heim joints. I might have some pics on my home computer. Gus

Well,
Evidently this trans was installed in a an E-body trailer queen.
It does include shifter and the shifter rods....
It also included a flywheel, BB belhousing, clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing. It was installed in a 71 Cuda....how...I do not know.

I picked up a new one with long shifter and rods for my A-body Barracuda. I known it's going to take some major fab work.

Well I liked the way it shifted with the T-10 syncros on the street and I also had a Mcleod Street-Twin clutch that was very good for the street. I tried drag racing the combo but the twin was too much rotating mass for a clean full throttle power shift. I then sent the gears up to Liberty's to face-plate first through fourth for the ultimate power-shifting transmission. I also swapped out the twin for an adjustable Hays plate and a bronze disc. Now I regret having it turned into a drag race trans now that I'm street driving the car more often now. I went back to a fully syncronized HEMI box and a Centerforce DF clutch that I'm happy with. I REALLY miss that 3.27 low gear though. Gus

my friend put one in a 71 challenger with a 604ci hemi 18 years ago. see mopar collectors guide may 2000. he had to re work the floor a bit and had to cut out the center of the trans cross member to clear the shift linkage.
perception is 90% of reality

The case is much larger than the 833 and the shift linkage is very close to the middle of the torsion bar crossmember. My buddy at work has one in his 4000# ElCamino with a healthy 496 big block. He beat the crap out of it for 15 years and he ended up breaking second gear,the good news is if you do break a gear you can simply slide the broken one off the cluster and slide the new one on. I have about 170 banzai full throttle passes on mine and I can still drive it about 1000 miles a year so I would say it's pretty strong. Gus
