I have not seen the article, but I had a Mopar A-833 4 spd behind a 350 Chev
in an AD truck, and it requires an adapter available from Trans-Adapt. The
input shaft pilot bearing stub must be shortened about 3/4" and a Chev pilot
bushing bored out to fit the larger diameter of the Mopar shaft. The
bearing retainer needs to be turned down to fit the Chev throwout bearing.
The Trans-Adapt adapter may need to be bored out to fit the bearing retainer
as the Mopar A-833 used four different retainers depending on the input
beariing size, and the application. This is a good, bullet proof tranny,
and the swap is fairly straight forward and well worth the effort.
