Who ever told you that trans came from a car that the tranny would fit in a early A body told you wrong
That tranny came from a pick up or full size van
I have both types of the later model 833 O.D. trannys in the shop, the A body type is all aluminum, not with a cast steel tail shaft housing like that one with both mounts
I do like that shifter better than the one I have on the same type tranny in my shop, do you want to sell the shifter? PM if so
I'm putting my tranny like yours in a 1966 Dodge Coronet Deluxe B body two door sedan in back of a 440 motor
Sorry for being the bearer of bad news
