B body drivetrain into A body




After changing to the A body engine mounts and exhaust manifolds, I finally have been able to install my original 273 and 904 from my '65 Coronet into my '65 Dart. I had to modify the crossmember in order to accept the trans mount and while I was at it, I also modified it to accept dual exhaust. It appears that the A body 904 must have a different tailshaft (shorter) because I will never be able to hook up the speedo cable because of chassis interference. 

Is there a plug available to fill the hole? I was think about a welsh (freeze) plug.

My B body downshift linkage won't fit the tight engine bay either. Anybody have any kuck with the cable operated downshift linkages available?

I was also able to install all of my spare Coronet front brake setup, giving me much better brakes. All I had to purchase was Upper A arms for a late disk brake A body (1975) and everything including upper and lower balljoints bolted on.
