A going to take WAG at a 20" x 10" swath including the whole center of the trans crossmember was cut out to make it fit. That's just a guess now, I'm probably wrong.

doesn't look like it to me. the tranny/tbar xmember on the A833 should be right behind the shifter...the DN is MUCH wider in that area, mainly because the shifter sits right where the tranny/tbar cross member wants to go. might be easier in an F/M/J because you could just weld a new tranny xmember further back and cut the original one out, since you don't have to worry about t-bar mounts.
Yep, in my car we had to cut out the original tranny x-member support since the shifter needed to come up in that spot. We just fabricated a new x-member with flange ends so that when it bolts together some of the rigidity is restored. I also added HD frame rail connectors at the same time and beefed up some other parts of the frame so it all seems to work out fine. Not an easy swap though and something I would not have tried on my own.

When I put the Richmond in my car I had an entire weekend cutting and boxing the T-bar crossmember then making a new rear trans mount   . I made a longer rear bracket to move the Long V-gate shifter back to about my knee.I had to "re-engineer"the factory fork pivot the get the fork in the middle of the hole in my bell.Then that threw off the geometry of the Z-bar  so I cut the factory one up and made my own Z-bar with Heim joints on the ends. Not a job for the first time builder but well worth the effort  Gotta love that 3.27 low gear with a 3.54 Dana gear  Gus

I'm not worried about that. The Nash is a very beefy transmission. Besides, I'm not 18 anymore so I don't drive like an idiot every time I take the car out of the garage. I've had the Nash in my car for more than 20 years and haven't had any issues with it. Of course, I probably average less than 500 miles of year of driving since the car is torn down for large chunks of time.

I am very curious about these transmissions, thinking about dropping one into my cough firebird cough...
This is a street car and with the 2.7x gears a non-OD 5 speed would be perfect.
Is there something to watch out for? I ahve ssen several which were "proshifted". As far as I udnerstand that means synchros are removed... not what I want! Were there street and dragrace versions made by the factory? Can you run one on the street?
As far as I udnerstand with the right input shaft they are a boltin for a T10.
