gary, sorta right. the poly block bolt pattern lines up all but 1 bolt. i had to cut 3/4" off and drill/tap to make it work. just to get the starter to line up. i should have given more details right off. i do have the 904 push button rebuilt and in the car,,i had to use the tailshaft from the slant 6 tranny.. but can't get the shift cables calibrated. i'd rather change it all. instead of tryin to use the buttons on a newer 727. reason i want a console shifter too...i have to re-cover the seat anyhow.. may as well be comfy bucket's instead of the ol bench... so my big problem would be. the right tranny. tail shaft length??? possibly a fury 2. or charger? cause i also will need the drive shaft.. or can i just swap out the bolt on yoke for a slip in? the only thing i know for sure is that i shoulda done this years ago when i was much younger....
the tranny i got came from a 64 cuda. with a 267 engine. in those day's the slant 6 and the 267 was the standard engine in the cuda/valiant. anything bigger had to be a special order...so i was told..

James, the guys who said they are all the same obviously never worked on them. :) I have not heard of a a push button tranny from a cuda or a 267 engine.
Since you have modified the 318 poly block to accept a newer 318 S.B. 727 you will not be able to use the push buttons to shift. But! I think you can still buy an special part from Imperial Services that adapts the '66 and up TorqueFlites to use the buttons..
By the way,the dart/valiant are A body Moaprs. (Except the 1962 Dart). The 1965 trans still uses cables. 1966 is the year they switched to levers.
If you decide to go with another cable trans, then any 1962 to 1965 Poly 318s trans will be workable. 273 also, though it may be a 904. Floor console shift use different length shifter cables.
I know where some small block PB transmissions are for sale, but not near to you unfortumately.
Hope this helps.
