I stumbled across it...I will be following, looks like a great project. How did I miss you having a 426 Hemi? I understand selling it to finance this, but a Hemi in this ride with a 4 speed....Makes you wonder doesn't it.
4 speeds...

I understand those pedals will bolt into you Fuselage with little fuss.

Sounds great but the reality of stuffing a Hemi in there is that it's more than meets the eye. Very wide engine means the real estate under the hood gets precious. YES, even in a humongous Fuselage engine compartmentI understand selling it to finance this, but a Hemi in this ride with a 4 speed....

So, son, when do we start???
Going this week to look at the trans, next Saturday to get the car and then I will slowly collect the rest. This winter I am devoting myself to getting the 73 together and painted. Then I can pick away at my Caravelle which needs mechanical restoration...then the ragtop goes into its rotisserie chicken portion of its life...So, son, when do we start???

If you are allowed to open the side cover, I would do so. Look at the dogs on the speed gears ( the little nubby teeth on the end of the speed gears), If they are rounded and worn looking the trans may jump out of gear when slacking between accel and deccel. These teeth are not repairable, bearings, syncro blocker rings, and such are replaceable.
That's a 69 and earlier trans which only has the spring and ball lockout but not a big deal, just don't take the levers off the forward gear selector forks or the balls will fall in the case if the shafts move too far inward.
I'm excited for this project. Let's get started.

I disagreed with that only because there are a handful of variations between B and C units, so that blanket statement of 'same' doesn't apply.
Similar and do-able - yes.
