Not to mention the A-100 transmissions with the short tail shaft.

One other thing.  '66 was the ONLY year with a 2 cable 727 that still had a lever worked kickdown

 

Stolen from the internet:

 

There are two main auto transmissions used by Mopar in this time period: 904 and 727. They are functionally the same, although the 727 case is physically larger. In addition, depending on what motor the transmission was used with, it had a different bellhousing. To make things more confusing, '65 and earlier transmissions were operated with two cables, while '66 and later used a single rod linkage. And finally, the connection from the transmission to the driveshaft changed from ball-and-trunion to slip-yoke in '65 (for B-bodies) and '66 (for A-bodies). And I'm not even getting to the earlier cast-iron cases, and the later input shaft spline changes...

That leaves us with 9 different transmissions during this time period:

  • slant-6 904 cable shift ball-and-trunion (60-65)
  • slant-6 904 rod shift slip-yoke ('66-up)  
  • small-block 904 cable shift ball-and-trunion ('64-'65)
  • small-block 904 rod shift slip-yoke ('66-up)
  • small-block 727 cable shift ball-and-trunion (early-'64 B-body 318s)
  • small-block 727 cable shift slip-yoke ('65 only B-body 318s)
  • big block 727 cable shift ball-and-trunion (early-'64)
  • big-block 727 cable shift slip-yoke ('65 only)
  • big-block 727 rod shift slip-yoke ('66-up)
