72 340 4spd Challenger bellhousing ball stud question
« on: May 23, 2013 - 02:32:58 AM »
Hi guys, putting together a 72 340 4spd Challenger and it came in boxes so I'm trying to figure what parts I have that are correct and what I need to hunt down. It came with a Lakewood bell but I had an original part# housing for the car but think it has the a-body shift fork (~12" oal)? My questions:

Is this car supposed to have a ball stud bracket on the bellhousing or does the stud screw directly into the bell like say a b-body?
What length shift fork is correct, the one around 11"?
What does the correct torque shaft look like? I have one but appears aftermarket, has s2k and s2ms2m stamped in it?

Thanks!
Chad

The B & E body are the same layout & I recal the small block has no bracket .I would call Brewers in Ohio they will know what you have & need for sure .

Thanks for the reply. Talked to Wayne at Brewers on Friday. Ball stud does indeed screw to bellhousing. They are good people, I order all my 4 speed parts from them.

Thanks for having me!
