Technical What transmission do we need ?

62 Dodge Dart-
Want to Keep the push button factory shifter
440 being built - @GOATROPER02 estimation just under 600 hp.,

 

Just guessing, 727 torqueflite built to hemi specs whatever that means

 

I think There’s goofy stuff with the push button shifter

 

We got 2 of the small block ‘62 transmissions from darts with push button shifter

 

62-64 Big Block Push Button

 

Definitely need a big block 727, I believe the internals are the same push button to column/console shift. I forgot the part that it does need to be a push button trans. I was referring to the clutches etc.

^^^^^^^ididntdoit1960 is correct.

Ok who’s got one?

 

You want a 65 727 they still used the cable shifter linkage even though they did not use push buttons but the button setup can be used and the 65 used a cross and roller U joint. It is the only year that both are used and you can push start the car the rear pump lasted through 66.

aka "Typewriter Torque-Flite" .........

 

Yep, 65 was only year that used the cable shift and 'normal' front slip yoke and u-joint. I think the 65 tailshaft and housing can be used with 63/64s also.

 

I’d be on it like a fat kid on a doughnut,
But it’s 9 hrs away and no shipping

 

Some one say ROAD TRIP !

 

No help here, it just reminded me of running a 63 Dodge demo derby car with the push buttons and getting hit while going from D to R, my fingers were shoved about back to my elbow!!

 

Apparently that (2040 parts) is a third party link to eBay auction that’s not there any longer. There’s much internet banter about the place 2040 parts being a scam and fishing site posting expired EBay listings.

 

$1495 but ready to go http://727specialist.com/ I use searchtempest to look at craigslist two show up one in Minneapolis for $350 and one in St. Louis for $500

 

There is most likely a big block push button trans in a local old junkyard in Dayton if you are willing to travel,will be going back there in a couple weeks and can give you a tour of the place.

 

I think some Winnebago motor homes also used the cable shifted big block 727 trans but I'm not sure what kind of yoke they take. I believe they were used (along with 413 engines) into the early 70's even.

 

I have 2 cable shift B727 torqueflite tyranny's. A 62 and a 63. The travel distance would be about the same as Columbus.

 

All of the motor home 727s I've seen had the parking brake on the output with a bolt on driveshaft flange.

 

Thanks
