Any know what trannies will mate up with a mopar 383?

I'm doing an engine swap with my dads pick-up to a '73 scamp but the pick-up is a manual and the scamp is an auto matic...might just change the scamp to a manual but i'm trying to look at different options atm. Any info is appreciated.

only thing that will fit that big block is the torqueflite 727

heh found out the engine is not a 383 but a 340. Was wondering if that 727 tranny is the only tranny that will mate up to that block...also anyone have any idea what was the stock A/T tranny in the 73 scamp with the slant six?

727 or 904 for automatic. I would convert it to a manual if it was me. Also the crank will most likely need to be replaced if going from a manual block to an automatic tranny.

you dont have to change the crank, all you will have to do is get a flex plate to put a automatic inplace of a manual, manual transmissions had flywheels and that is only set up for manual clutches, to go with a automatic you have to get a flexplate that allows the trq converter to bolt to it and thats it, a flex plate and flywheel both have same mounting flange for a crank of that engine.

a 340 is an awesome engine.
Some automatic cranks do not have the hole drilled if you wish to use a 833 tranny, but any compitent machine shop cane do that for you.

A 727 is a great choice for the 340
