I has a 4 speed but its a clone. It certainly didn't come from the factorywith a 4 speed if it was a real Max Wedge.

My car is a clone too. It used to have a slant six in it. The back endwent up 4 inches when the Super Stock rear leaf springs were installed. Itwas always a torqueflite auto with pushbuttons so I went with an auto andI'm glad I did.


Nice car, that big red.   That's the same site I bought my car from.

Thanks, Gary. I know you know a lot more than I do about Mopars. Youprobably know more than maybe a handful of people about Mopars in the entirecountry and I have the highest respect for your input.

Here is a link to a 4 speed '62 Dodge, though homebrewed, not from MaMopar.

Good work, Jim. I ain't ashamed to admit when I'm proven wrong.Thanks

 for clearing the issue up.

 Ain't it funny that the auto 68 race hemi Darts and  Barracuda's are
 quicker than the stick cars?  Used to be the other way  around.  But the

torqueflites were never too far behind the 4 speed cars and in somecases

 they were faster way back when.

 I'm sorry to inform you that your link doesn't  work, at least from my

machine. I could probably copy the line and put into my web browserand

 it would work then.

More than one way to skin a cat, as the old saying goes. You did getthe

 info for the link down anyway.  Anyone  half-computer literate should be

able to get it to work one way or another, as long as the address isvalid

 and I'm sure it is.

 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 werethe

 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 nocasting

 number.

1963 Stage II bellhousings were aluminum, but being for the T-853-speed,an A-833 won't bolt to them. They are also a different casting thanthe

 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 fora

 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 forat

 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, butthe

 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 theydid.

 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 arepeople

 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 gota

 four   speed.

Max Wedge Mopars in 1962 model were only available in 3 speed stick ora727 torqueflite and that is 100% accurate. In 63 and 64 you could geta

 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, thenagain

 that might have just been the maxies
