I just found this thread on the discussion:
There is no 1963 Max Wedge 4-speed bellhousing, as the Maxie was
only available with the A-833 trans in the very-early months of 1964
production until the Race Hemi debuted and the Stage III engine was
discontinued. The only 4-speed option in '63 was the Borg-Warner
T10, and due to its weakness it was not available behind anything
larger than a 383. In '63, the only transmission choices behind the
Max Wedge were the hard-to-shift Borg-Warner T-85 3-speed manual and
the 727. Period. The A-833 was not available until '64.
and:
OK, going by one of Galen's old White Books, here's what I can come
up with:
1962 Stage I 413 Max Wedge bellhousings were steel, but have no
casting number.
1963 Stage II bellhousings were aluminum, but being for the T-85
3-speed, an A-833 won't bolt to them. They are also a different
casting than the T-85 bell used behind street 426 applications'
3-speed unit, and are different than the T-10 bell used on 361/383
applications, which was iron. He erroneously marks the B-engine T-10
bell as being correct for a 413, but that combo was never available.

Hi, Jim. '62 was the only year
that the three speed manual trans was mandatory if you wanted
a stick shift. In 63 a three speed or 4 speed may have been
an option along with a torqueflite, but a 4 speed was
available in 63 Max Wedge cars.
I am pretty you are sure about
the Borg Warner being the 4 speed for at least part of 63. I
do know that some 63's near the very end of the model year had
the same engines they started putting in the 64's, but the
NHRA banned them because not enough of them were produced to
make them legal to run. I have no idea how the NHRA found
that out, but they did. Those cars probably had the 833 trans
or the torqueflite in them too, just like the '64's.
I did a lot of research when I
was building my car, but there are people on this site that
know more than I do. Maybe someone will step up and verify
the accuracy of my statements.

In 63 I'm thinking you could get a four speed , the Borg Warner
, with all big blocks, except the Max wedge?
Then in 64 , when the 833 became available, the Max Wedge
finally got a four speed.

Max Wedge Mopars in 1962 model were only available in 3
speed stick or a 727 torqueflite and that is 100% accurate.
In 63 and 64 you could get a 4 speed or a torqueflite.
That's 100% accurate too.

I think that you are probably talking about someones
project, not positive, but do not think that a 4 speed
was an option in 62, then again that might have just
been the maxies
