Hemi 4 speed
Just blew up my 18 spline A833. Any suggestions on where to go from here? 4000#, 650HP, drag radials, and driving it like I stole it. I know a guy with an NOS 72 A body 18 spline gear box, never installed. The price is right, but I'm afraid I'll blow this up too.

I spoke to Jamie, he said I've surpassed the limits of the Hemi gearbox. I also spoke to David Dudek who agreed. I was going to order a RS600 from Kiesler. Now I'm nervous about that. If the A855 was going to be available soon I would go with that. Psyco, what has your experience been with Keisler?

First the A body 833 is different , the internals can be used but the talishaft length & housing is different
Keisler is the worst to deal with http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/in...6896#msg816896
horrible customer service , incomplete kits , lies about delivery times . on top of that if you shift the tremec hard first it is notchy not fast & smooth & second the syncro rings will fail . one that Keisler send leaked , when checked closely they had machined through the case ... no problem ship it back at your cost & we will replace the case 3500 miles + ship it internationally at our cost LOL . Classic performance / Tony Edler does the same conversion kits & is far better to deal with if you go that route
Yyou may want to look at the Viper T56 magnum trans

I know the transmissions differ by body style, but my tailshaft housing will bolt on. Its not strong enough anyway. Viper trans...interesting. Are you aware of anyone doing this swap before?
#10
yes the tailhousing bolts on the 833 but you also need the longer tailshaft which will swap also if not damaged .
there are numerous people doing T56 swaps , it is not floor friendly but very doable http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/in...?topic=70418.0
