    Not sure what trans the 83 challenger uses for a trans or how durable it is... guessing it wasn't designed for V8 torque?

    It is a scaled down version of a 904/30RH torqueflite.

    It will set in there fairly well. A 318 will not bolt to an '83 Challenger transmission, however. You would have to use a proper smallblock trans.
