We did a A500 for awhile, with no lock up and a 904 input. With a swich on the shifter for overdrive. It's smaller/ lighter than a A518.(still heavy and long).
What kind of power from the small block?
What kind of strip time, bracket racing or fun/grudge/et chase?
I like the car

Good info ..
I was concerned on highway RPM's on distance runs, its 40 miles to the local track so that's easy
But, I'd like to be able to drop the RPMS to save wear and tear on long runs , like if I go to Fargo or heaven forbid i am able to make it to drag week
I do plan on making it bullet proof for the highway
No sense to make some crazy ET claims at this point but ..I plan it to be kinda fast at some point ..
I appreciate any tips

I'd look at a GM 200R4.Plenty strong for a stock eliminator car and small case as well.

I'm sure you're going to be around $5K for one of their setups. But it would still be all mopar. The 200r4 would be thousands less.

If your going to beat the tar out of it, I would do the shorty 727 with GV OD from SMR

I tried using a shorty GV setup in my Hemi Challenger and it hit worse than the standard length unit. The studs and back side of the OD hit the factory torsion bar X-member and made it impossible to install without serious modifications. I ended up switching over to the standard length kit and bashing the floor were needed.
If I was to do it over I would seriously look into the 200R4. I know there is a bellhousing option available to make it work. Some details in the link below.

Interesting....
SMR says its a bolt in deal:
ONLY 7 1/4" LONGER THAN A STANDARD 727, an SMR "Shortie" overdrive transmission is a DIRECT BOLT-ON for all Slant 6, V6, A, B, RB, and 426 and GEN III HEMI engines in rear wheel drive 1962 to 1970 "B" Body Chrysler vehicles . No floorpan or critical crossmember modifications are required.* (No special fabrication or welding skills required)
* In some installations a small dent may be required to clear the speedometer adapter at the overdrive housing.
Installation is a true bolt-in, requiring only the shortening of the driveshaft, in any '62-'70 "B' Body or 2 wd truck originally equipped with a 727, 904 or 3 or 4 speed standard transmission. Installation is also simple in '67 to '76 "A" Body cars with only minor modification of the lower transmission mount
This transmission retains:
-stock crossmember;
-transmission mount;
-stock cooler lines;
-stock shifter (except '62-65) and kickdown linkage;
-stock or heavy duty Chrysler flexplate;
-standard design Chrysler torque converter;
-stock starter and location; and
-The full strength and integrity of the overall transmission is not compromised by removal of the original cast bellhousing to utilize an adapter that is welded on or bolted to the pump. (Such a bolt on bellhousing places the full torque load onto the pump bolts which were designed strictly for the purpose of holding the pump in place).
